North Rocks Market

North Rocks Market is a well-loved Sunday community market run by the Rotary Club of Carlingford from the car park of NextSense (formerly the Royal Institute for Deaf and Blind Children). Every dollar of net proceeds supports Rotary charitable projects - from feeding the homeless at Parramatta Mission to scholarships for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander nursing students at Western Sydney University, and recycling medical equipment to communities in Samoa and beyond.

The open-air stalls cover a broad spread: fresh produce, clothing, jewellery, shoes and handbags, pre-loved household goods and tools, plants, paintings, books, and collectibles. Fuel up with a hot gozleme, something from the BBQ, or a coffee. The level, accessible site welcomes families, dogs on leads, and visitors of all ages. Casual stallholders need no advance booking (food vendors excepted); just join the queue across the road at North Rocks Shopping Centre before 6:30 am. The market does not operate on Christmas Day, Boxing Day, New Year's Day, or ANZAC Day, and may be cancelled in wet weather - check the Facebook page on the day.
