Our flagship events are celebrated for blending retail excellence with immersive visitor experiences, attracting hundreds of thousands of shoppers annually.

Over the years, we’ve also proudly hosted beloved events such as The Big Design Trade and  Markit + BakeSale, which also played an important role in supporting independent creators and connecting them with engaged audiences.

Building on this success, we introduced The Little Food Market in 2024, championing the best in Australian and New Zealand food and beverage. With its boutique focus, The Little Food Market delivers a bespoke experience where artisanal producers share their exceptional culinary creations. thelittlefoodmarket.com
