    Our next Art Bazaar is at Lambton Park on Sunday 31 August 2025

    Hunter Arts Network Art Bazaar is a high quality artisan market that has been held since 2002. Unfortunately tomorrow’s May Art Bazaar has been cancelled by Council due to the park being underwater. The next market will be held at Lambton Park on Sunday 31 August 2025.

    I am a regular stallholder 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.

    Art Bazaar will be returning to Lambton Park in 2025 on:

    Sunday 31 August

    Sunday 30 November

    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.

    Be a part of the Art Bazaar we have come to know today, which is now held at Lambton Park

    The stall fees are very affordable for stallholders and food/coffee trucks:

    Sunday 31 August 2025 $70.00

    Sunday 30 November 2025 $80.00

    Click here to apply for a stall – https://form.jotform.com/hunterarts/2025

    You must ensure your market tent is heavily weighed down

    Safety comes first and our major concern is the wind and we usually expect a bit of wind in the afternoon. Council has advised that pegs are no longer allowed in the park. Please pack weights to secure your gazebo. Weights must be around 15kg per leg and an inspection will be carried out at set up and no weights or flimsy weights will not be allowed. If bringing water weights it is often a good idea fill your water weights before packing them.

    Please note Art Bazaar is an outdoor market so please be prepared for the weather for yourself and your work – please bring suitable footwear and attire and protection to cover your stall
