The Bondi Markets are part and parcel of the local community and Bondi life. For locals, Sunday mornings means a visit to the beach, a wander through the Markets and a coffee down the road. The Bondi Markets are a place to mix it with the Bondi crowd, shop for bargains and take up the atmosphere. But they are much more than that.
The Markets provide local designers, artists and craftspeople the opportunity to sell their work direct to the public. They act as a launch pad for budding entrepreneurs and anyone working in the creative industries.
The Markets also allow local not-for-profit groups and organisations access to a free stall at the Markets to assist with revenue raising and for raising awareness.
A lot of our local residents have joined the Markets as stallholders clearing out their garages; going overseas or just spring cleaning.
The School Canteen operates on every Market Day and raises funds for the School and other local community groups by doing Sydney’s best sausage sizzle and offering light meals and cold drinks to Market visitors.
The Markets also generate revenue for the Bondi Beach Public School which uses the funds for many of its educational programs, equipment and facilities.
