You’ll find heaps of clothing, homewares, plants including modern orchids, technology, CDs, books and even vinyl records but it will be hard to go past the antique tool store, which includes loads of nuts, bolts and screws, and the range of affordable lawn mowers and whippersnippers.
There’s second-hand “lucky” fishing lines and fisherman accessories for sale plus shoes, honey, farm fresh eggs and fruit and vegetables.
If Dad is an animal lover, you could gift him a new family member – there’s unusual birds, not just budgies, rabbits, guinea pigs, chicks and sometimes roosters guaranteed to put plenty of cock-a-doodle into his day.
While shopping you can enjoy refreshments from the coconut coffee van and have your cuppa infused with coconut if preferred, to enjoy a range of health benefits and there’s also the crowd favourite, chip on a stick, pizzas, manoush, gozlemes, kebabs and falafel rolls.
Market Stall holder Manager Robyn Davies says most people who come for the first time are amazed at the range of wares offered by over 130 stallholders.
“The markets are a real, hidden gem in Bankstown and offer a great day out where many savings can be enjoyed,” she said.
“If Dad is one of those hard people to buy for, rest assured, you will definitely find something that’s perfect for him at our Sunday market.
“We have loads of room and so invite all potential stallholders to get in touch and showcase their wares too.”
