Bondi’s Sunday Markets: Your Ultimate Guide to Sydney's coolest Sunday Market
By Visit Bondi Beach Editorial Team · · Updated
Part of our Things to do guide.
If you only do one thing in Bondi on a Sunday, make it the Bondi Markets - they run every Sunday from 10am to 4pm at Bondi Beach Public School on Campbell Parade, right across the road from the sand, and entry is free. It's my favourite lazy-Sunday ritual: a coffee, a slow lap of the stalls, and almost always something I didn't know I needed tucked under my arm on the way out.

- Best for
- Vintage, design, one-off finds
The markets have been running for decades and they've kept that scrappy, creative, unmistakably-Bondi energy the whole way through. This isn't a polished shopping-centre experience - it's a school playground turned over to emerging designers, vintage dealers and makers, with the ocean breeze doing half the styling. That's exactly why I keep coming back.
What you'll actually find
The mix shifts week to week, which is the whole charm of it - no two Sundays turn up the same stalls. But there are a few things I can pretty reliably point you toward.
- Emerging fashion - pieces from designers you won't see on the high street yet
- Vintage and retro - recycled clothing, records, homewares and the occasional bit of furniture worth carrying home
- Handmade jewellery and art - original work straight from the person who made it
- Homewares and ceramics - small-batch, one-off, easy to fit in a suitcase
- Coffee and food to wander with while you browse
Getting there (and parking honestly)
The market sits on Campbell Parade opposite the beach, so if you're already in Bondi you can walk. Coming from the city, the easiest run is a train to Bondi Junction and then a bus down to Bondi Beach - check the Transport for NSW trip planner for the current bus number and times, as they do change. Driving on a sunny Sunday is the one thing I'd talk you out of: Campbell Parade parking is fiercely contested and metered, and you'll spend more time circling than shopping. If you must drive, aim early or use one of the paid car parks and accept the walk.
Rain, weather and what to bring
One of the things I love about this market is that it simply doesn't cancel - it runs rain or shine. The flip side is that it's open-air, so a wet forecast means bringing an umbrella and expecting a slightly quieter, cosier version of the day. On a hot Sunday, the opposite applies: hat, water, sunscreen, because there's not a lot of shade between the stalls. Bring cash as well as a card - most stallholders take card these days, but a few smaller makers still prefer notes.
Thinking of selling?
If you make something and fancy a stall of your own, the markets take a wide range of vendors. Rather than quote fees that shift, I'd send you straight to the 'Stallholder Info' section on the official Bondi Markets website - that's where the current pricing, insurance requirements and application form live.
