Returning to the iconic Royal Exhibition Building on Father’s Day weekend the Makers and Shakers Market spring edition will be its biggest yet, with 185 stalls celebrating Australian-made homewares, food and fashion.

As the only makers' market that partners with the Australian Made campaign, every product on offer is both designed and made in Australia, making shopping locally, consciously and sustainably easy and fun.

Also, enjoy a fathers day 'Dad’s Lounge', last-minute gifts, and a hilarious family photo at Awkward Portraits’ double denim-themed shoot.

Plus low-cost craft workshops for all ages, free tastings, and DJs spinning all-vinyl sets.
