The Old Bus Depot Markets are next weekend kicking off their popular Christmas Markets. The Christmas Markets are on both Saturdays and Sundays throughout the month of December in the lead up to Christmas.
“Our Markets really buzz with a very Christmassy feel, and it’s a great alternative to traditional shopping centres, department stores and online shopping for Christmas. You can enjoy the seasonal atmosphere and often meet the friendly people who’ve actually handmade your Christmas goodies themselves,” said Old Bus Depot Markets Director, Diane Hinds.
The Christmas Markets will feature a large range of handmade gifts and festive items, as well as deliciously fresh Christmas food.
Christmas at the Old Bus Depot Markets will be open Saturday 5 (Annual Stallholder Sale) and Sunday 6 December, Saturday 12 and Sunday 13 December, and Saturday 19 and Sunday 20 December from 10am to 4pm. Entry is free. For more information visit www.obdm.com.au
