Marking 10 years of showcasing local makers, Gathered SA is transforming the much-loved Alec Johnston Park on Hahndorf’s Main Street into a festive wonderland for three magical days — Friday 12 to Sunday 14 December — as part of the Hahndorf Christmas Village celebrations.
Whether you’re shopping for unique Christmas gifts, indulging in delicious local food and wine, or simply soaking up the holiday atmosphere, this market promises something for everyone — including little ones and even furry friends.
A festive experience for all
Here’s what makes this Christmas market a must-visit:
More than 100 South Australian stallholders will showcase handmade gifts, Christmas décor, fashion, art, and more — ideal for those who love giving thoughtful, locally made presents.
Live music and festoon lighting will set the scene for a relaxed, cheerful atmosphere, perfect for catching up with loved ones or enjoying a laid-back day out.
Family-friendly food and drinks abound, including sweet treats, coffee, mocktails, and a fully stocked bar featuring local wine, gin, and beer.
Easy family fun: A playground is located right next to the food and bar area, so you can relax while kids play safely nearby — making it a stress-free outing for grandparents with little ones in tow.
Don’t forget the dog! Gathered’s charity partner Paws For Change will offer festive “paw-traits” – Christmas photo sessions for pups (bookings essential).
Celebrate 10 years of Gathered in style
Founder Jenna O’Dell says: “After growing our Christmas Design Market year after year since 2018, we are thrilled to be moving to a bigger and better location… This is not just our largest Christmas market yet, but it’s also our 10th year of Gathered, so it’s a really special time for us and for the community who have supported us from day one.”
Whether you’re a lover of artisan markets, a proud grandparent looking for a fun day with the family or simply want to soak up the festive vibes in the beautiful Adelaide Hills, Gathered SA’s Christmas Market is a must-add to your December calendar.
Gathered Christmas Market is at Alec Johnston Park (Hahndorf Main Street) from 12 to 14 December. Entry is $3 per person (with part proceeds supporting Adelaide Hills Dementia Carers Support Group). More info & full stallholder list: gatheredsa.com.au
