As summer has well and finally approached, we welcome (with not-so-open arms) a parade of late Christmas shoppers in the scorching heat down Rundle Mall. As much as you are one of those last minute shoppers, you’re probably trying your hardest to avoid the cluster in the centre of the city.
The iconic Queens Theatre will be home to the debut of the gathered. markets on the 12th and 13th December from 10am-4pm. Grab your friends and head down to Playhouse Lane to support your local, upcoming Adelaide businesses. The line up of more than 60 South Australian stalls will feature a lively and exciting supply of home made jewellery and craft goodies. With the likes of Sarah Rothe Jewellery, Laura Horne Art as well as an array of new labels, gathered. should (and will be) the place to be this weekend.
Not only will there be opportunities to grab some fresh food and drinks (yes, coffee and wine is included!), but you’ll also be accompanied by live acoustic entertainment. Also, If you’re feeling crafty on the day, why not get involved in some Christmas DIY workshops that are being held on each day? However, It doesn’t stop there. If you’d rather sit back and watch, live cooking demonstrations are also there to entertain and educate you!
Steer clear of the Christmas hustle this year, and get your hands on some unique gifts and boost the local arts economy! While you’re there, you may as well head over to the gift wrapping station organised by End Homelessness SA, before you get home and realise you’re not the greatest at wrapping pressies. With just a gold coin donation, you can have all your new, exciting gifts wrapped in the comfort of a refreshing organic beverage!
Now you’ve got your weekend planned, look forward to a weekend gathering of creative products and places!
