Markets taking a break this weekend
Due to a major event at the Entertainment Quarter, our regular EQ Markets and French Markets will not be trading on Saturday 6 December or Sunday 7 December.
The precinct will be extremely busy as we host Ministry of Sound Classical, a sold-out festival welcoming 15,000 attendees. To ensure safety, space and smooth operations across the site, our markets will pause for the weekend.
Back next weekend with big Christmas energy
We’re back the following weekend with our two biggest festive markets of the year:
- EQ Christmas Market — Friday 13 December
Festive stalls, food, drinks, gifts and all the Christmas energy under the Market Canopy - French Noël Market — Sunday 14 December
A special once-a-year French Christmas edition with gourmet eats, gifts and Euro-Christmas vibes
Important information for visitors this weekend
With a major crowd expected, parking on site will be very limited and significant traffic delays are expected across the afternoon and evening peak periods.
All event-goers and anyone visiting the precinct are strongly encouraged to catch public transport or use ride share where possible.
Parking at the EQ can fill quickly, so please plan ahead of time. If you drive, you should arrive early, carpool with your group and expect delays on roads approaching the precinct. Parking and costing information can be found HERE
Reminder that the carpark will be delayed on exit, as everyone will try and leave at the same time. Please take a few minutes, stop past one of our venues, or stop past the merch stand – so you can spend some time exploring EQ before going back to your car.
- Public transport is the best way to get to Moore Park with frequent light rail and buses servicing the precinct. Visit transportnsw.info for more details and to plan your trip.
- Trains and Metro services run regularly to the city where you can connect with frequent light rail services to Moore Park. The Moore Park light rail stop is located a short walk across from the venue. Plenty of regular route buses also make stops along Anzac Parade and Oxford Street nearby.
- Consider walking between Central and Moore Park via Devonshire Street and the Albert ‘Tibby’ Cotter Walkway to avoid the queues for transport services before and after the show.
If you’re catching rideshare, a dedicated pick up and drop off zone will be located on Moore Park Road near Oatley Rd. Expect delays before and after the event as large crowds arrive and leave neighbouring stadiums.
