BEST WEEKEND MARKETS: PADDINGTON

There is so much to see at these unique markets – held every Saturday from 10am – that you could easily lose half a day as you browse around the different stalls. Located in Paddington Public School on the shop-a-holic magnet that is Oxford Street, the market at Paddington features a diverse range of Australian designers’ stalls and in general, offers a family-friendly market with decent food and plenty of beautiful goods on display. Bonus points for the creative use of the school hall, which is jam-packed with exciting culinary delights. (Jade Tyrrell)
