Turramurra Community Flea Market

The Turramurra Community Flea Market is a beloved twice-yearly event held on the grounds of Turramurra Uniting Church, drawing bargain hunters, collectors and families from across Sydney's North Shore and beyond. Run entirely by volunteers from Turramurra Uniting and St Andrew's Uniting Churches, the market has a genuine neighbourhood warmth - a place to rummage through thousands of books sorted by subject, browse fine china and jewellery at "Mary's Stall", fill a bag of clothing for all ages, pick up potted plants, source hand tools from "Jack's Stall", and discover all manner of recycled treasure and bric-a-brac. Outside on the front lawns, private stallholders set up gazebos and open stalls selling art, crafts, handmade goods, jewellery, vintage clothing and plants. The cake stall turns out fresh home-baked slices, scones with jam and cream, and the BBQ fires up snags - making it as much a social occasion as a shopping one. All proceeds support local, national and international charitable causes, with beneficiaries including Parramatta Mission, Hornsby Ku-ring-gai Women's Shelter, Frontier Services and BlazeAid.
