Hay St Market at Paddy’s – an epic, 3,000-square-metre market home to 48 stalls spanning more than 25 different cuisines – opens today (Wednesday, March 26) in Sydney. A project more than three years in the making, Hay St Market is inspired by food markets found all over the world, as well as Sydney’s wonderful and unique multicultural landscape. The fully revitalised market, which is a $20-million project, aims to pay homage to the historic Paddy’s Markets site, which has been operating as a market since 1834, while breathing new life into the location.
Operating seven days a week from morning to late, Hay St Market is set to draw in both Sydneysiders and tourists, who will be able to get everything from street food snacks to artisanal produce, colourful blooms and stunning homewares, all under the one roof. It’s also fully licensed, meaning you can enjoy a crisp beer with your noodles or chilled red after work. How good.
