Weird is wonderful markets

On the third Sunday of every month, something delightfully different takes over the grounds of the Valley Brewhouse in the heart of the Hunter Valley. What’s Weird is Wonderful isn’t your typical market—it’s a bold, slightly unhinged, and entirely heartfelt creation brought to life by one person with a refreshingly radical idea: markets should actually work for the people in them.
Built on the belief that stallholders deserve to make real money (yes, actual profit) and that creativity shouldn’t come with an outrageous price tag, this market flips the usual script. Fees are kept fair, the vibe is inclusive, and the focus is firmly on supporting makers, artists, collectors, and curious souls who don’t quite fit into the mainstream.
Set against the relaxed, welcoming backdrop of the Valley Brewhouse, the market is a celebration of the unusual, the handcrafted, the vintage, and the downright eccentric. You’ll find everything from quirky art and handmade goods to oddities you didn’t know you needed—each stall a reflection of the personality behind it.
More than just a market, it’s a community experiment that somehow works—proof that when you give creative people a fair go, something genuinely special happens. Weird? Absolutely. Wonderful? Without a doubt.
