Markets and shopping
Shopping. Huskisson has an array of beautiful boutique shops, so enjoy a stroll around town. A lot of the stores stock South Coast products, none more so than The Collective Beat on Owen St, with items from local artisan makers, artists and designers: photography by Jordan Robins, birdlife art by Jess Hutchinson, crafts by Milk Thieves. You’ll also find boutique clothing, gifts, homewares and cosmetics, and plenty of excuses for fudge, donuts, lollies and ice cream. The most avid shoppers should visit Milton and Berry.
Huskisson Market is held on the sports ground next to the Bowling Club on the second Sunday of each month: plants, art and craft, local photography, fresh produce and bric-a-brac, with a coffee stall or two.
Jervis Bay Maritime Museum Markets host a handful of stalls by the water, usually on the evening of the first Saturday of each month.
Tomerong Village Market has hyper-local handmade goods, local produce and food on the morning of the third Saturday of each month.
Milton Village Markets fill Milton Showground monthly with local meats, cheeses and breads, new and vintage fashion, ceramics, plants and handmade gifts, sometimes with music, a jumping castle and pony rides.
The Berry Markets are usually on the first Sunday of each month from 8.30am at Berry Showground; the Berry Farmers Market is each Thursday afternoon. Nowra Farmers Market at 111 North Street is a food lovers’ paradise for a cheeseboard or a picnic, with Nowra Fresh next door for meat and fish.
Market days occasionally change, so check Facebook or Instagram, look for the signs in town, or visit shoalhaven.com/events. Take cash.
