After our first couple of indoor markets, Art Bazaar will be returning to Lambton Park in 2025 on Sunday 30 November. This is our much-loved Christmas market where you will always find a selection of unique artisan Christmas gifts and treats. Please note one week before the market the location could change to our indoor venue depending on the weather forecast.

Hunter Arts Network Art Bazaar is a high quality artisan market that has been held since 2002. Become one of the stallholders at this event who are all from the Hunter region of NSW. All stallholders are creative makers who have been selected by Hunter Arts Network because of their unique, handmade, high quality and original work. While wandering the stalls, enjoy live entertainment, food trucks and coffee. Art Bazaar continually brings the handmade art community to loyal followers who find gifts or treats for themselves, while meeting the local Hunter makers and artists they are supporting.

Hunter Arts Network is run by a dedicated committee of volunteers who have also worked hard to celebrate all modalities of visual arts and the committee that has come together continues to do an amazing job to make this happen.

Applications for stallholders are now open and new stallholders are always welcome to apply. The stall fee is a very affordable $80.00
