Built between 1880 and 1889, this intriguing group of huge Victorian-era workshops was part of the Eveleigh Railyards. The rail workers chugged out in 1988, and in 2007 the artists moved in. It's now home to an impressive artist-led program of inventive visual arts and performance, often on a monumental scale. Expect anything from Indigenous dance retrospectives to aura photography or giant incense sculpture; have a look on the website to see what's on.
Carriageworks (carriageworks.com.au) is also home to the Saturday morning Farmers Market, where stallholders sell all manner of fruits, vegetables, meats, artisan products, baked goods and cooked meals. There's often a pop-up themed market held simultaneously in a neighboring hall, selling anything from pottery to paintings.
