Richmond Good Food Market
Started in 2014 under Richmond Park's jacaranda trees, its annual Christmas market has grown into one of the largest in Western Sydney.
About this market
Richmond Good Food Market began in 2014, founded by the Hanna and Williams family under the jacaranda trees at Richmond Park. After running it for about five years, they handed the market over to Daniel McTackett, who has continued managing it since, keeping the market's original good-food focus intact through the change in leadership.
From a family-run start-up to one of Western Sydney's biggest single-day markets
That steady growth is most visible each December, when the market's annual Christmas edition swells to more than 190 stalls, making it one of the largest single-day markets anywhere in Western Sydney. On a regular Saturday, the market runs at a more modest scale, but still draws a genuinely strong crowd for fresh produce, artisan food and local crafts under the park's namesake jacarandas.
