Ōtautahi Crafters Market Easter Edition

Celebrate Easter at our vibrant handmade market! 160+ stalls, VIP hour, tote giveaways, workshops, treats and family fun.

Join us for a vibrant, curated market featuring 160+ incredible handmade and locally made stalls. From artisan food and sweet treats to homewares, fashion, skincare, gifts and one-of-a-kind treasures — this is your chance to shop small and support local in a big way.

  • VIP Early Access gives you a calm, premium hour to shop before the crowds, with first pick of every stall, an exclusive VIP tote and limited-edition tea towel, special stallholder offers — plus automatic entry into our Weekend Away Giveaway.
  • The first 300 shoppers each day will receive one of our iconic tote bags packed with goodies — that’s 600 totes across the full weekend.
  • Enjoy interactive workshops including our popular cookie decorating sessions and the dreamy Mermade Pearl bracelet experience. 
  • Sensory Hour – Sunday 9am–10am: A quieter, low-stimulation shopping hour designed for those who prefer a calmer environment before general entry.
  • Expect giveaways, fun activations, delicious food vendors and a buzzing Easter atmosphere all weekend long.
  • Whether you’re hunting for Easter treats, thoughtful gifts, or simply a beautiful day out — this is the market everyone will be talking about.

Support local. Shop handmade. Make a day of it.
