Everyone South side probably heard the squeals of excitement when this Mamma found out there was a new market in town, and the good news is… it’s AH-MAZING!

Held bi-monthly and set around the picturesque lake of Basterfield park, the new Hampton East Market boasts an impressive lineup of over 100 makers, sweet treats and street food vendors.

Walk down the tree lined paths of the park while you soak in the buzzing atmosphere and shop the incredible artisan products on offer. But be sure to pause for a moment and fawn over the baby ducklings wading around the lake - they are super cute!

Once you’re all shopped out, why not grab yourself an authentic wood fired pizza or Philly cheesesteak and sit down on the grass while the kids play in one of the two (yes two!) playgrounds.

Mamma’s hot tip is to coax the kids off the equipment with some decadent meringue kisses or a delicious cup of chocolate covered strawberries - and treat yourself while you’re at it… it would be rude not to.
