Agenda

VIP Early Access Hour
Enjoy a slower, calmer start to the market before the doors open to the public. VIP Early Access is designed for those wanting a more relaxed and personal experience — giving you time to explore curated local makers, chat with the people behind the products, and shop before the busiest part of the day begins. Discover limited pieces, one-off creations, and favourite stalls with fewer crowds and more space to take it all in. Limited tickets available.

General Entry | 10:00AM – 3:00PM (Free Entry)

Ōtautahi Made Sensory Hour
Sensory Hour is a dedicated quieter shopping session designed to create a calmer, more accessible market experience for those who may benefit from a lower-stimulation environment. During this time, lighting will be softened, crowd numbers reduced, and the overall pace of the market encouraged to slow down — allowing visitors more space to explore comfortably and at their own pace. Everyone is welcome. This hour is about creating a more inclusive environment and ensuring more people can experience Ōtautahi Made in a way that feels comfortable for them.
