Carriageworks is a location where arts, music and food thrive. The culture and community is rich and the people passionate. Carriageworks has a vast variety of events and markets to cater to all. Family friendly, dog friendly, and culturally aware. I have attended a variation of events and attractions at carriageworks and I must attend to the curation and purposeful choices made throughout. You can learn alot and meet very friendly people always willing to chat or you can keep to yourself and enjoy the environment and general vibe. It is always low pressure with just enough going on that you feel involved without being overwhelmed. From specially curated gin, flowers and music to food sourced from native ingredients. Carriageworks is a place for everyone. The recent even I attended was a first for the new night life scheme and it was... one of the best nights to represent Sydney at its core, that I know. So many hidden gems within this hidden gem. Interactive and welcoming, but again, with no pressure to contribute. I could not rate carriageworks high enough. A favourite in Sydney's heart ❤️

I’ve never been to Carriageworks, so what did it take to get me there? Molchat Doma. Who are they? A Russian post punk new wave three piece. Anyway back to the venue… to get there I advise public transport it’s close to Redfern station and within a 5-10 min walk from King Street -Northern end. Alternatively Taxi service types can get you there too. The room is huge, 1,500 capacity I believe…ammenities are great and non gender specific. If ya gotta go you don’t have to wait…👌🏼 They had a bar and cafe type place for food at what would be considered “normal” prices. Tap and go is preferred by the way 🤷🏻♀️ Finished early - 11pm due to being in a residential area, which is fair enough. Was I disappointed with the venue? Nope. But it was a public holiday, so far so good. As for Molchat Doma….what did they sound like? well hear it for yourself 😉.

Love this space and a lot of the creative things they put on, great instaliation works and the markets as well- saw Burrbgaja Yalirra, Dancing Forwards there recently which was just an amazing touring show, absolutely stunning, it actually made me cry. Left off the last star because the too cool for school aesthetic actually gets in the way of them promoting their shows, it's hard to find out what's on in that they don't set up pisters for the market goers to see and show runs seem to be overly short... I think they are trying for exclusivity, but what they are creating is empty and I think it's a mistake because they are getting great shoes, they could have bigger audiences. But I would highly recommend going to events gere because they are a great standard, original and cutting edge and the space is a great architectural space.

Beautiful venue. As the name suggests, it was formerly part of the Everleigh rail complex and has a fantastic history. It's been lovingly restored and you'll spot the train tracks still in place. ❤️🚞 ❗Note that Carriageworks is a venue. I recently visited for the Sydney Writer's Festival and there are regular farmers markets and art installations. However, if you happen by on a random day, there isn't necessarily much to see except the building itself. This isn't a museum or the like. 🚲 Located directly on the Wilson St bike path, with ample bike parking. 🚈 Closest train stop is Redfern. Easily accessible from City Rd buses in Newtown as well (just walk through Sydney Uni)

One of the best contemporary art venue in Sydney! Love their exhibitions, programs and art fairs!! Family friendly, and perfect for art initiation, even for babies and toddlers. The current show of Nick Cave:Until is stunning, reflecting the complicated issues in modern society with beautiful audience-immersed art installations. It's a garentee must-see! There's limited space of on-site parking, lots of street parking but only 1-2P. Its small cafe offers decent coffee and quick food, however, it does have pop-up restaurants running from time to time, usually during art festivals. No to mantion that there's a farmer's market on SATURDAYS 🌱

Great market, primarily fresh food and produce. You need to arrive early to have the best choice, and secure a parking spot if you’re driving. Walking or cycling is best. The market has a friendly local feel to it, seeing plenty of regulars there. The stalls do have a bit of a turnover but largely consistent. The crowds have never been overpowering and there’s plenty of space to wonder around. Getting a seat at the table to enjoy your coffee and cake can be a challenge. You do however have shelter from the sun or rain as it’s completely covered.
