The Finders Keepers has long been a favourite on Sydney’s market event calendar. And the good news is, it’s back and bigger than ever.
From the 2nd until the 4th May, 2025, Carriageworks will be humming with creativity as more than 200 local designers, artists and foodies converge on Eveleigh. What’s new this year? The market is spreading into a second hall dubbed The Dining Room, which is a dedicated space for fresh eats, craft drinks, and some seriously good live music.

With Mother's Day just around the corner, the timing couldn’t be better! It's the perfect excuse to snap up something thoughtful, unique (and maybe for yourself as well).
The Autumn Winter Finders Keepers also gives a platform to APY Gallery while they’re between locations in Sydney, so marketgoers can browse their powerful First Nations artwork in a pop-up gallery setup.
There’s also a wave of exciting debut stalls like Lawn Bowls with its dreamy glasswork, Dusty The Label offering slow fashion made from recycled materials, and KingKing Creative who blend wearable art with powerful cultural storytelling.
Melbourne-via-Milan illustrator Eleonora Arosio is back with her famous three-minute portraits, plus a giant communal mural to colour in.
For those who love functional beauty, the ceramics crew is not to be missed. Over 30 clay artists will be there, including fresh faces like Poldy Pots, George the Slug with his fun little figurines, and Austin Flowers.
Local DJs will be spinning tunes to keep the energy up while there’ll be 50 food and drink vendors to keep you replenished.
Tickets are $10 online or $12 at the door (kids under 13 are free). There’s a quieter, low-sensory hour from 9–10am on Sunday.
Now in its 17th year, The Finders Keepers is a celebration of conscious consumerism and the people shaping a slower, more sustainable future for Australian design.
