Waverley Council is giving young local artists, designers, makers and entrepreneurs aged 15 to 24 years the opportunity to be stallholders at our dedicated Rising Makers Market held on Saturday, 12 April 2025 in Bondi Junction.

This curated space will showcase the creativity and ingenuity of local young people looking to sell and promote their handmade arts, crafts, fashion, jewellery and more!

Providing a supportive environment for emerging makers and designers to grow their small businesses, hobbies or ideas into positive learning experiences, these markets are open to all young people who live, work or play in Waverley.

The market encourages people of all ages to come along to the newly reopened Boot Factory on Spring Street in Bondi Junction, just a short walk from Bondi Junction Station and Westfield. The event will also showcase young musicians and DJs throughout the day.

The market trading hours will be from 10:00am to 2:00pm and successful applicants will be required to set up prior to opening (from 8:30am to 9:30am) and pack down after the conclusion of the market (from 2:00pm to 3:00pm).

Stalls vary from fete stalls (mini marquee with 3 x built-in flat tabletops) to single trestle tables.

Please note that preference will be given to local young people living in the area as well as ensuring variety in displayed wares at the markets.
