Looking for a meaningful way to celebrate Mother’s Day this year? The BIG Handmade Mother’s Day Market is coming to Brisbane on Sunday, 19th April, and it’s so much more than just a shopping trip.

Hosted at the historic Old Museum in Bowen Hills, this special one-day event champions slow, sustainable, and thoughtfully made products. It’s an invitation to pause, connect with local makers, and discover beautiful pieces that are kind to both people and the planet.

 Why This Market Is Different

This isn’t your average market. The BIG Handmade Mother’s Day Market focuses on:
• Slowly made: Every stallholder has been carefully selected for their commitment to craftsmanship, quality, and intention.
• Sustainability as a journey: Whether you’re just beginning to explore more conscious choices or you’re already passionate about sustainability, this market welcomes you. It’s about progress, not perfection.
• Ethical, small businesses: When you buy from our makers, you’re supporting local creatives who are doing their best to tread lightly on the planet.

It's the perfect place to find meaningful Mother's Day gifts that tell a story and will be treasured for years to come.

 Conscious Shopping for a Slower Lifestyle

Stroll through our slow living market space and discover:
• Beautiful, high-quality handmade pieces
• Natural and low-impact products for home and body
• Thoughtfully designed items that encourage a calmer, more intentional way of living

Take your time, chat with designers, and learn more about the materials, methods, and values behind what they create. This is shopping that feels good.
