The Nest Markets

Reddall Reserve Markets is a monthly outdoor market run by The Nest Markets - a community-minded operator born from everyday life in the Illawarra. Set on the grassy shores of Lake Illawarra at Warilla, it's a genuinely unhurried place to spend a Saturday morning and afternoon: local makers and artisans alongside fresh produce stalls, a coffee van, food vendors, and live music drifting across the water. The focus is firmly on knowing the faces behind the stall - small growers, local creatives, community groups - rather than a generic shopping experience. The site is flat, accessible, and relaxed enough for prams and kids to roam freely, with a toilet block (including an accessible toilet) just 20 metres from the stalls. Parking is plentiful on-site and on surrounding streets, and public transport connections are available via bus on Peterborough Avenue or the Oak Flats train station nearby.
