Berry Reserve Market, Narrabeen
Seven hours on the third Sunday beside Narrabeen Lagoon, with designer fashion and craft stalls right at the water's edge.
Also known as Narrabeen Markets, Narrabeen Village Market.
About this market
Berry Reserve sits where Narrabeen Lagoon meets Pittwater Road, and on the third Sunday of the month the lawn between the two fills with stalls. Seven hours is a long market by any standard, and the setting is why it gets away with it: this is somewhere people are happy to stay.
Craft, fashion and a very long lunch
The stall mix runs to arts, crafts, jewellery, homewares and designer fashion, with a substantial run of food stalls that do more than sustain the shopping. Nine until four means the market covers both the morning browse and the afternoon crowd who come down for lunch by the water and end up buying something. Very few Sydney markets hold an audience for that long.
Market at a glance
The reserve has the lagoon on one side and the beach a short walk the other, which turns a market visit into a morning out without anyone having to plan it that way.
This market answers to three names and it causes real confusion. Berry Reserve Market is what the operator and the council call it. Narrabeen Markets and Narrabeen Village Market are what most listings and most locals say. They are all the same third Sunday at the same reserve, so do not go looking for two separate events.
Good to know before you go
Parking along Pittwater Road is limited and the reserve car park is small, so arriving before ten or after two is easier than the middle. Bring cash, a hat and something to sit on if you plan to eat there. The lagoon edge has shade and grass, and the market is one of the few on the northern beaches where lingering is the point rather than a way of killing time. If the weather is doubtful, check the operator's page: this is an open reserve with no cover.
