Perth Makers Market — Local services in Applecross

What's not to love?

WHAT TO EXPECT Some of Perth's best views (enjoying both the City skyline & the river), free entry, kids' playground, tonnes of food carts in a central alfresco seating area, entertainment, plus all the interesting creations of the makers' themselves to explore at your leisure.

MARKET STALLS Think even more food, boutique distilleries, beauty treatments, clothes, jewellery, bags, artworks, toys, plants, singers, face painting

Can't wait to dig in into my...

Great market, nice little food truck/court area. A must for everyone who likes a...
