Your Guide to Bazaar 2023  

W.A.’s favourite Christmas makers market, proudly sponsored by Muse at Artisan Place, is almost here, with 50 local artisans ready to wow with their latest wares, including fashion, jewellery, textiles, ceramics, woodwork, toys, prints, stationery and more on offer.  

We’ve compiled a handy guide to Bazaar 2023 to help make the most of your visit: 

When and Where is Bazaar? 

Bazaar runs from 5.00pm-9.00pm Fri 1st December and 9.00am-5.00pm Saturday 2nd and Sunday 3rd Dec and is located at the Fremantle Arts Centre, 1 Finnerty Street Fremantle.  

Entry 

Entry is $2 per adult, kids under 12 are free (payable by card or cash). 

Shopping  

All stallholders, our front gate and all food vendors are fully equipped with card facilities. 

Cash payments for products can be processed at reception. Fremantle Arts Centre gift vouchers can also be used at reception. 

Parking  

Limited free street parking is available on Finnerty, Ord and Vale Streets. Paid Parking is available on neighbouring John Curtain College’s oval for a $5 fee.  

Parking is also available at Fremantle Leisure Centre for a small fee. 

Alternatively, take public transport. FAC is a short 10-minute walk from Fremantle train station with several bus routes stopping nearby. Head to the Transperth Journey Planner to find your best route. 

ACROD Parking  

Fremantle Arts Centre has reserved limited ACROD bays in the top carpark. Access to these bays are via our top gate entrance off Finnerty Street and is controlled by Security on event days. Please present your ACROD pass to the security guard on the gate and if we have bays available, we will accommodate you. 

BYO shopping bag 

While some stallholders have bags available upon purchase, it’s a good idea to bring along your own shopping bag to ensure you get all your goodies home safe and sound. 

Check the map 

We have large Bazaar maps positioned across the site to help you find what you might be looking for. 

Photo Ops  

Want a gorgeous festive photo on the FAC grounds? Head to the iconic concrete couch in the front garden and discover our Christmas set-up. Arrange your people accordingly and ask a Christmas fairy, friend, passerby or FAC staffer to take a snap on your mobile.  

Make sure you share using the #FACBazaar on Instagram and tag @fremantleartscentre ! 

Ahead of the event search the #FACBazaar hashtag for a sneak peek at all the amazing products you can expect to find at Bazaar and to follow stallholders you love. 

Meet the makers  

There’s nothing better than directly supporting makers and artisans. Take the time to chat with the people who have made the items you’re loving. They are more than happy to tell you more about their range and how their products are made. 

Food & Drink Offerings  

There will be lots of delicious food options to choose from to keep your energy up while you shop. Head to the food court area at the rear of the building to find a selection of delicious meals from an array of food vendors and a fully stocked bar (open from 5pm on Friday and 12pm Sat + Sun). 

This year’s food vendors include: Thien Kim Vitenamese, My Goz, La Paleta, Wild Bakery and Clean Tasty Dirty. 

We will also have a water station, so bring your refillable water bottle. 

Entertainment  

City of Fremantle’s Buster the Fun Bus will be in the inner courtyard all weekend.  

Friday evening will feature Christmas carols from our very own FAC Yeah! Community Choir led by songstress Natalie Gillespie.  

The weekend mornings will host FAC Christmas Fairies from Ladybird Entertainment to delight the little ones.  

And be sure to pop in and check out our current exhibitions Pliable Planes: Expanded Textiles & Fibre Practices – a travelling exhibition presenting work by 12 Australian artists who reimagine textiles and fibre. Special Treat is also on display, a gorgeous collection of beachcombed ‘treats’ recreated into unique works of art.  

Plus, don’t forget to leave your mark on our communal art project the Weaving Wall.  

Lastly, please leave your doggo at home. We love dogs but they’re not permitted within FAC grounds. 

Have a fabulous weekend of browsing and shopping!
