Carriageworks

Renovated and reworked industrial building that now serves as modern exhibition space and performance venue. I have recently visited it for the writers festival. It was spectacular. Toilets available on site. Beer, wine and light refreshment can be purchased at the venue. Easy accessible for all. Note: it might be challenging to find parking nearby so plan accordingly.

Came to my first gig here a couple of weeks ago. Was super easy to get in via the security/ticket scanning and then into the outdoor area to grab a couple of drinks before heading into the main hall. Plenty staff working the bar so the line moved very quickly plus two additional bars inside the main hall too. My only gripe was the very average beer selection. Good to see they had chosen a sort of independent brewery as the beer supplier but why would you choose a brewery from over In Western Australia and then choose two of their most average beers when you’re surrounded by local craft breweries. Why not support local Sydney businesses and put on a selection of local beers. I meet a number of people on the night whom had travelled from regional NSW or interstate for this gig, give them the opportunity to try some great locally made beers. Sound was okay, a bit muffled at times but when I listened to the videos I took the next day it was crystal clear 🤷🏻‍♂️. Could have been where I was standing. Also, if you don’t get a spot in the middle of the stage you will get an obstructed view on either side from the columns holding the venue up. Get in there early to secure a good spot. Staging and lighting throughout the night was very good. As was the number of cubicles available, easy to get in and out for a quick wizza without waiting for ages in a line that you can get at other venues. Couple of food trucks also available in the outdoor area which were still knocking out food after the event which was good to see. I didn’t eat from them as I’d eaten beforehand but good to know for any future events.

Great place to visit. iconic Sydney markets. Very busy, lots to buy. Good place for snack, great selection to choose from. Short walk from Redfern station.

Great market! It is a Saturday only market that explains the crowd, but there was a lot of space to move around. Too many choices of food so went the one with a queue called A.P bakery? Had their pizza, beef pie, and orange pound cake. The food was delicious!!! Parking can be tricky, but plenty at the back near the apartment.

Cool space with lots of nice bikes for the weekend, but now they're gone so not nice bikes for you, unless you use the internet to find the custom bikes seen at SPOKEN. crazy. Functional historical vibe

First time - amazing vibe , lots of fresh produce, coffe, bread, eggs, chilli sauces, flowers. Lots to choose for brunch. Opens at 10 , super dog friendly. Loved it

I visited Carriageworks today for The Big Design Market, and it was an amazing experience! The venue was filled with a wide variety of unique and creative products, perfect for design lovers. There was also a great selection of food stalls and a cozy coffee place to relax and recharge. One thing that stood out was how convenient it was—lots of free parking available, making it hassle-free to get in and out. Highly recommend checking out events here if you’re in the area!

Such a brilliant product market, all under cover. Don't forget visit the best super fresh garlic and ginger stand towards the back of the market on the left. Mark & Linda's farm is just outside Bellingen.

You know the Promised Land Moses was leading his people to but after 40 years they never got there they just kind of pfaffed around in the desert? Well I just found it, and it's in Carriageworks every Saturday from 8am-1pm, and it's the land of milk and honey... ... and goat's cheese and coffee and fresh fruit and vegetables and stunning flowers and bacon and egg rolls that will kill hangovers stone dead and bush shrub cordial and wood ear mushrooms which I only just found out existed and a hundred other things besides. And people bring their dogs just for you (YOU!) to play with. I wandered around with a cup of bone broth and a giant fig, date and raisin sourdough buying up radishes and bunches of herbs and flowers for mum and only left when I literally could not carry another thing, not even a single currant. See you next week.

Great farmers market on Saturday's. I went around 11:30 and the veg stands were already out of a few things so come early! Dog friendly, but not very vegan friendly. No baked goods for vegans that I saw but tons for everyone else looking delicious.

Nice space and on the whole the produce is what should be available at Farmers Markets.......but.....'Batlow Apples' ??? I know Batlow intimately. It is right in the middle of picking season at the moment and one of the two 'Batlow Apple' stands was an utter hoax. Apples bought from Flemington no doubt and the bloke who was manning it did not even know where Batlow was. The other stand was marginally better promising unwaxed apples and at least he had some of the varieties correct. Fuji were picked at least a month ago so these have been in coolstore which is fine. Indeed some apples improve in coolstore, but don't mislead people! Thirlmere Chook is very nice but $18 a chook? My final grizzle - Bar Pho didn't have any phumplings. Bugger! I think some of the stands here are having a lend.

I always love going to farmers markets. Sure, the produce is a lot more expensive than the stuff you can buy at Coles or Woolies, but at least you know that a lot of love and creativity has gone into creating the organic, unique or unusual creations that are on offer and that's worth the extra $$ in my opinion. Eveleigh is undercover so you can come here rain, hail or shine and not mess up your inner-city-hipster hair. It's great for brunch or just filling up on all the samples on offer across the vendors.

Beautiful market. And what a great use of an old railway workshed. Every Saturday it's filled with tons of local and regional produce: duck eggs, grass-fed pork sausages, veg, herbs, cheese (including sheep's cheese, not so common in Australia), flowers, coffee, freshly-made takeaway food, and tons of other stuff. Most of the vendors have tasting samples, too: if you're not shy you can actually end up getting pretty well-fed. Since much of it isn't mass-produced, much of it is more expensive than you'll pay at the big grocery chains. But if you want quality, sustainable food from people with whom you can discuss the food's provenance, it's a super market. Stop by even if it's just to grab a bacon and egg roll, and pick up a few quality ingredients for a special meal.

I love my Saturday mornings here - I might have only been living in Sydney for a couple of months but you will find me here every Saturday morning picking up some fruit, bread, lush vegetables and some beautiful flowers. There are some wonderful stalls which are there every week and others which rotate every few weeks. If you are looking for -organic seasonal fruit and vegetables -local and high welfare meats and eggs -exceptional dairy products including the most amazing butter tasted ever -bread and artisanal baked goods including my personal favorite a panacotta lamington which is more than worth seeking out! -flowers and more flowers -cold brew coffee -breakfast and lunch options including crepes, bacon n egg rolls and pho -puppy treats -much much more then this is the place for you! This place is puppy friendly and a great Saturday morning outing for family's, friends or alone!

Make the rounds to a few of Sydney's farmer's markets and you'll soon realize that each has a distinctive vibe, apart from the obvious "I like buying local." Marrickville's got serious eco-hipster funk, a far-left embrace of recycling center ethos and alternative lifestyles (seriously, I might just randomly ask any vendor there one day to give me a hug and they would probably do so in a heart beat). Leichhardt / Orange Grove's got multi-ethnic street creds, with a kitschy Guatemalan coffee vendor (non-colonialistic!), Middle Eastern kitchen and French pastries galore. And Eveleigh? It's the farmer's market version of the Dubai oasis. First off, you're in a desert. Redfern's the closest train stop, a 7 minute walk (there's also a free shuttle, I think), so right off the bat, you already know the neighborhood's got "character" (but not much else). The market's in a renovated railway workshop, covered and sectioned off from the rest of the world, which helps keep out the Friday night drunken riff raff (somehow, I managed to sneak through...). As with the Middle East, the offerings are brought in from all over and are spectacular. Beautiful, mostly organic produce from maybe 10 vendors. Then add unwaxed, unsprayed seasonal fruit from another 5 vendors, with one that offers some truly distinctive varieties like guava and achacha. There are gourmet meat purveyors -- duck sausages and meat, pork, lamb, beef, for the carnivore in all of us -- and organic cheese, rice, and bread (La Tartine, Sonoma) providers, too. I haven't spotted a lot of seafood on offer, other than the Brilliant Food folks, but a number of the vendors change from week to week, so it's hard to tell. Then comes the fun part -- the food vendors, like Billy Kwong and Bird Cow Fish. Kylie Kwong's there almost every week, cooking up a storm of $10 egg pancakes with organic veggies sourced from vendors at the market itself. Blini Bar, at the edge of the workshop, sells sweet and savory crepes for $5 or $6. You can get your bacon and egg roll fix, but no Turkish gozleme here. To top it off, there is an eclectic collection of rotating prepared food vendors, selling jams (Blue M and Princess Pantry), marshmellows (Sweetness), muesli (Farmer Jo), yogurt (Halla at you, Yalla! and Country Valley), cupcakes (Cupcake Princess), falafel, flats, and more. All offer generous samples before you buy -- and if you aren't shy, you can probably make an entire meal out of just the samples. It's Dubai for a reason, though. Prices are not cheap as a general rule, unless you shop carefully and stick mostly to the produce (though even that can lead to sticker-shock -- check out the tomato stand for a $14 punnet of heirloom tomatoes, which is wild). Come with a budget, or be of the view that life's better without one. This market's great, but not for those on a financial diet. P.S. - I haven't checked, but I'm pretty sure Kylie approves this message.

Friendly people, musicians and food! It isn't overly packed where you're pushing and shoving. It has a more chilled and relaxed environment than Bondi Market (don't get me wrong, Bondi Market is relaxing by grass but Eveleigh Farmer Markets is bigger and worth seeing over Bondi). You may be able to find some discount on veggies and herbs.

Great farmers market every Saturday. Local produce sold here, including milk and cheese's, bread stalls, flower stalls and other goodies you find at food markets. I love going for a wander and then when i'm feeling peckish going to buy food at Billy Kwong (Kylie Kwong) always has 2 options that you can select from, Generally they include dumplings and a crepe or savoury pancake. Resonably priced, sometimes it can get quite busy so go a bit early if you don't like crowds. Great way to start a Saturday! Dogs are welcome as I see owners walking around with their pets.

I like going to Farmers Markets. But I always find myself coming back to Eveleigh Market. How can you not, imagine the smell of great food wafting through the air as you walk down the stairs as you approached the market, the bustling of great crowds and friendly stallholders warming up your heart. So many choices of good produce, great food and coffees. From Duck Pancake at Biily Kwong stall to the great smelling Pho at the other end of the market. If you do decide to come here, you have to visit La Tartine Bread stall. Mark, the baker is so passionate about his bread. They offer a good selection of Organic Sourdough Bread, and my favourite is the Fruit Bread. In it you'll find generous amount of fruits and almonds covered the bottom of the bread. This is what I live for!

So very expensive for what it is, but I do like to come here on occasion. The fruits and vegetables are good, but I much prefer Addison Road on Sunday mornings.

Every Saturday from 8am to 1pm, the Blacksmith's Workshop (adjacent to Carriageworks) comes alive with the weekly Farmers Markets. Run by the Redfern Waterloo Authority, it's a great place to do your grocery shopping and know that you're getting the freshest and the best produce available. The heritage-listed venue is a custom-renovated railway workshop of the old Eveleigh Railyards, and allows the markets to continue rain, hail or shine. The markets first began in 2009 and has grown in number of stalls and customers over the past few years. There are more than 80 regular stallholders offering organic and biodynamic food producers. Along with fruit and vegetables, you can buy organic pasta, artisan cheese, baked goods, wine, lamb and free-range pork. Remember to bring cash, or pop over to the ATM in Carriageworks.

There are legitimate bargains to be found here but you have to know what you're doing. A few stalls are just here to trade on the demand for vaguely hipster-looking things, so it does pay to have a good chat to the "farmers" and "makers" before you pay through the roof for some cheese you could get at the corner store or (as another reviewer pointed out) a frozen supermarket apple. It's not Sydney's best farmers market but if it's your local it certainly does the job, especially once you learn where the good bits are.

It isn't a secret, I am big fan of food markets... and Carriageworks is one of the best in Sydney. I like that it's located in a old fabric and that all stands are described with a board to indicate where customers can find them outside of the market. I must admit that my guilty pleasure in here is having a breakfast with a cup of coffee and to come back home with my french Saucisson from La Bastide. I would definitely make this place a regular one in my weekly routine.

Saturdays are awesome for food and coffee, lots of eats to try out along with the your normal average fare. This market is really worthwhile checking out for a Saturday morning. They also have a Sunday crafts (Artisan) fare every once in a while, but meh - not really interested in that side and we were bored when we accidentally showed up that day.

Absolutely love this place. Really wish they were open on a Sunday too. Having brekky here is fantastic. Highly recommended is the savoury pancake from the Billy Kwong stall - it's tasty, healthy and relatively light. The steamed pork dumplings are also delicious if you need at little extra on the side. The grass fed beef pho is also fantastic, though not cheap given how small the portion is. There's depth to the broth and the chilli oil is great - packs a great big punch! I also love the little stalls they have. Fresh produce, pasta, cheese - love it all! Highly recommend venturing down on a Saturday morning for bite and a look around (Kylie Kwong herself is usually there most weekends too! Bonus!)

The housemates and I have a love-hate relationship with these markets. The negatives are mostly due to the influx of SUVs circling the block and clogging our narrow neighbourhood streets since there is pretty much zero parking at Carriageworks. But deeply ingrained biases aside, the produce at the markets is bloody good although on the expensive side of the equation. Honestly, you do taste the difference though. The grape tomatoes and broccoli (yeah, I said broccoli) and free-range eggs and baby kale (I know) that I get here are off the hook in terms of quality and flavour. I even managed to switch one of the housemates, who was a total hater, onto buying his produce here simply based on how good it is. There are a few food and coffee stalls, and although I don't eat here (you'll find me at my favourite neighbourhood café) the queues suggest they're worth visiting. And there's a couple of flower stalls which keep me in poppies when they're in season. Even though the markets are held in a huge undercover gutted warehouse space they can still get pretty packed at certain times of the day, so just be aware of that if crowds make you agitated. There's always a few dogs too. If there's an art show on at Carriageworks you could make a morning of it, and then when it's a decent time I suggest grabbing a beer outside in the sun at resident bar Cornerstone. It doesn't have the same lazy vibe as say the Sunday markets on Addison Road - maybe because of the industrial setting? maybe because the clientele are more laidback in Marrickville? - but it's good enough and easy to get to.

Trendy, located in old carriage works, nice looking stalls but that's it. If you looking for quality produce, look elsewhere. The food here is limited, over priced, average quality and probably bought wholesale at flemington. This market typifies sydney --all show, no substance. Wasted my time.
