The Red Hill Community Market had just 28 vendors when it opened in 1975. Now it boasts more than 300 stalls selling handcrafted goods and homegrown produce. It’s a mash-up of seasonal produce and craft, and leans towards being more of a makers market with a handful of farmers positioned throughout.
But there’s plenty of food and drink options, too – from homemade lemonade and savoury tarts, to paella, tacos and those spiralled potatoes on a stick. There’s a strict policy that the stallholder must be the maker or grower, so you know you’re speaking to the person who grew the apples or made the cheese before you buy it. Grab a coffee and a *canelé* and wander through the maze of stalls before picking up some handmade pasta for dinner.
