Visitors to the market can find contemporary craft, designer-made homewares, ethical clothing and jewellery in our Designer-Maker section, discover fledgling design start-ups in our Suitcase Sale, have a rummage through vintage nostalgia in our Flea Market or browse indoor plants, gardenalia and homewares in our Homes & Gardens section.

Based on the iconic 1952 movie musical of the same name, Singin’ In The Rain is set in 1920s Hollywood at Monumental Pictures, where the story follows a film studio’s chaotic (and hilarious!) transition from silent movies to the brand-new “talking pictures.”
Packed with comedy, romance, and dazzling dance numbers, the show features unforgettable songs including “Moses Supposes,” “Make ‘Em Laugh,” “Good Mornin’,” and the title number “Singin’ In The Rain.”
An incredible celebration of classic musical theatre – audiences won’t want to miss this toe-tapping summer production!
