YAY Kraftbomb! It’s the last Sunday of every month at the Grey Lynn Community Centre on Richmond Rd. This is where you bring your friends and pass some time appreciating local crafty goodness. This market is filled with all sorts of amazing and quirky crafts that are all made by the people selling them. This is where you should be spending your money people — buying things direct from the makers! Support local crafty peeps and do all your gift shopping at places like this. Parking is on the street so you may need to take a bit of a stroll. Bring cash, although there is eftpos available at a central location for the whole market. There’s usually amazing cupcakes and lemonade to satisfy your hunger and thirst while you ponder over which superhero necklace you want. And there’s a playground outside that you can distract your children with so you can look around without risking them touching and breaking :)

This craft market takes place on the last Sunday of every month at the Grey Lynn Community Centre, which is right on Richmond Rd. I got a bus there when I last went. The centre was full of stalls, all selling handmade products such as jewellery, candles, cupcakes, clothing, and a heap of generally good gift ideas. Eftpos is available at the market which is always a win, especially for people like me who hardly ever carry cash. I purchased some ceramic ornaments as a birthday present which were well received. It’s great finding lovely gifts and supporting someone local. There is lots of different and unique stuff here too; things that you just don’t find in regular shops. If you fancy a crafternoon, you could buy a cross stitch kit that when finished would read«beards are the new black» and other such words of wisdom! If you would personally like to sell something at Kraftbomb, you can apply on their website.
