The Witches and Wizards(staff) here are amazing, they go out of their way to help, we always stop off here on the way home from the snow, but this year due to covid the dates were not lining up with their opening hours, a quick message to them and they opened up for just myself and my son to come in and look around (and buy more harry potter supplies) so well themed, and great product range. Thankyou Guys Such a magical store with so many Harry Potter items for sale some of which are exclusive as they commission them just for them, . Oh and the witches and wizards who work there are so entertaining,engaging and just fantastic +butterbeer ontap wow really suggest a visit to any fans or friends of fans or family looking for pressures for Harry Potter fanatics it's just enchanting and charming they even run online trivia for the kids and adults

Strathnairn Arts

Strathnairn Arts is a not for profit arts association supported by the ACT Government providing working spaces, studios and facilities for a range of artists, crafts people and community groups. In addition to the Arts Galleries, you will find a SHOP and cafe set in a 1920's rural homestead on 9.5 hectares on the Western fringe of Belconnen overlooking the Brindabellas. Strathnairn Arts has been used by artists for decades but still remains one of Canberra's best kept secrets.

Strathnairn Art Gallery is situated in miles of open country. I saw kangaroos and there are horses in a nearby field. But this place houses studios where artists work in clay, paint, cast iron and wool , to name a few materials. The gallery houses exhibitions and there is a shop and café staffed by world's friendliest people. What a find!

Reviewed By EvangelineRoberts - Sydney, Australia

These are without doubt the best markets I have ever been to. The quality of the items is fantastic. It is such a pleasure to be able to talk to all the wonderful designers. There are a wide variety of stalls. It is so enjoyable buying special gifts and one or two treats for myself. Lots of things for the children and men, who can be ignored at some markets. It is just as enjoyable online as being there.

Capital Region Farmers Market

Reviewed By Maymay1989 - Adelaide, Australia

We visited from Adelaide and really enjoyed this Farmer's Market's atmosphere and offerings. While parking was a little hard to navigate, the market itself was bustling with friendly and passionate stall holder and shoppers. Prices for fresh produce was about standard to supermarkets, but the quality far superior. Plenty of samples to try as well! Definitely enjoy a pork and fennel sausage roll, washed down with an blood orange juice slurpie!
