It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas at the Old Bus Depot Markets

Posted on 6 December, 2014

Canberra’s Old Bus Depot Markets are celebrating Christmas with a variety of brand new stallholders, delicious fresh foods and, to welcome in the silly season in true Christmas spirit style, the Annual Christmas Stallholder Sale on Saturday 6 December.

With just a few weeks until Christmas, stallholders have been super busy creating some truly beautiful and distinctive Christmas gifts and food, says Old Bus Depot Markets’ Director, Diane Hinds.

“It’s always such a great time of year to visit the markets as it’s buzzing with a really Christmassy feel. The markets make a great place to stock up on Christmas decorations, food and gifts for friends, and to find something a little different that’s made lovingly by hand, not mass-produced.”

In the lead up to Christmas Day the markets will be open on both Saturdays and Sundays throughout December, which gives more time for customers to find what they’re looking for, and more opportunity for the many stallholders to spread the Christmas cheer…and it’s all kicking off today with the Annual Christmas Stallholder Sale!

“On this day customers can take advantage of exclusive specials, bonus gifts with purchase and some very good deals. And we’re also so pleased this year that we have lots of completely new stallholders with Christmas gift ideas,” says Diane.

New products on offer this Christmas include delightful handmade wooden Christmas trees and ornaments from Woodmade Trees; Christmas pamper packs for dogs from Pup Cakes and More; handmade Christmas nativity sets and angels from Julie Aston; and hand stamped Christmas cards and decorations, garlands and Christmas gift boxes from diskINKtive Stamping Designs.

“We’ll have all the Christmas favourites including wreaths, live Christmas trees, decorations, handmade stockings, advent calendars and table centre pieces. We can’t wait to share in this exciting season with Canberrans and visitors this Christmas!”
