Welcome to River & Wren Market

A unique Wagga market where you can discover handmade, homemade and homegrown goodies

There’s something special about buying directly from the maker. Hearing their stories, enjoying their craftsmanship and connecting with the inspiration behind their unique products. It’s a chance to disconnect from the fast pace of mass production and embrace the slow pace that crafting handmade, homemade and homegrown goodies requires.

 

But despite our best intentions, life is fast and finding the time to search out, connect with and buy from small businesses can be a challenge. Connecting online is great, but the joy that comes from smelling, touching, and tasting before you buy can’t be replaced.

River & Wren Market bridges that gap. It’s a space for independent creators, artisans and producers from the Riverina and beyond to connect with those who love and appreciate all things handmade, homemade and homegrown.

With around 100 unique traders at each market, street food vendors, activities for the kids and community barbeque, it’s safe to say that River & Wren is not just a market. We’re a vibrant community, meeting space and shopping place that’s family-friendly, pet-friendly and a great day out.

You’ll find us at the Wagga Showground six times a year. We can’t wait to see you at the market.

About River & Wren Market

It all started with a dream to create a Wagga market that was just as good as those in the city. One that would build community with the locals and entice those further afield to visit.

River & Wren Market was born in 2014 and has been a place for people to shop and connect with talented creators and artisans ever since.

These days you’ll find over 100 carefully curated traders at each market and thousands of market-goers browsing and getting their market fix.

“I absolutely love having a stall at River & Wren. In one way, it’s like a big country market, full of warmth, friendships and the joy of meeting people. And then it is also professional with Emma carefully curating high quality makers from far and wide. Emma radiates warmth and positivity, while also being highly efficient, organised, and clear visioned. I may skip a stall at the market one day though, just so I can walk around and explore all the beautiful goods for sale and the social areas my customers always tell me about.”
