Gathered markets celebrates SA creatives in new permanent location

Gathered will swing open its doors to its first-ever permanent location on Saturday, the 26th of August, for its opening weekend.

The countdown has begun for the grand opening of the all-new Gathered shop located in the Adelaide Hills—the perfect haven and emporium of local South Australian treasures.

Nestled on the bustling Main Street of Hahndorf, Gathered will swing open its doors to its first-ever permanent location on Saturday, the 26th of August, for its opening weekend—welcoming visitors in to browse and shop themselves silly amongst the wide array of homewares, fashion, jewellery, and cosmetics, all sourced from local South Australian suppliers and small businesses.

Jenna, the owner and director of Gathered, is excited to have a permanent home to showcase the best of South Australian creatives. ‘This is something I’ve been thinking about for a couple of years,’ says Jenna. ‘This location is where we hold our annual Christmas Markets, and so when it became available, I jumped at the chance!’

Jenna and the Gathered team have been at it for eight years, running the ever-popular ‘Gathered Design Market’ three times a year, their monthly ‘Market in the Mall’ located in Gawler Place, and their annual ‘Christmas Market’ in Hahndorf in December.

For years these markets have been a favourite amongst the South Australian community, and Jenna can’t wait to keep the tradition going and combine everything South Aussies love about the markets all under one roof.

‘Everything we do at Gathered is all about supporting and celebrating South Australian creatives and small businesses, and we won’t deviate from that,’ says Jenna. ‘It’s a big collaborative space where vendors can showcase their work on a more regular basis without the stress of operating their own store, and we’ll always have a rotating selection of vendors at Gathered, so there’s always something new to discover.’

In addition to jewellery, candles, artwork and ceramics, Gathered will also have coffee and a variety of delicious cakes on offer seven days a week and, on the weekends, will open up the bar, serving local wines and spirits from various South Australian vendors.

‘We will have cakes by Frosting & Sprinkles, who’ll be providing yummy sweet treats like cupcakes, slices and cookies,’ says Jenna, ‘and for the first two weekends, Chesterfield Whisky Firm will be serving up cocktails and offering tastings to our customers.’

Some of the brands you’ll be able to find when Gathered opens its doors are REB Cosmetics—a vegan/mineral makeup all made here in SA—Chatterbox City—the creator of amazing heat bags and jewellery—and Miss Rose Sister Violet, who’s known for beautiful linen dresses and apparel.

And whilst the much-loved markets will continue, Jenna has a surprise in store for 2024.

‘We’ll be doing our first Easter Market next year, which I’m really excited about because Hahndorf is the place to be at Easter,’ says Jenna.

Opening seven days a week from 10 am-4 pm, Jenna can’t wait to open her doors and show off the best of SA in her favourite spot. ‘I’m a total hills girl,’ says Jenna. ‘I love it up here, and now I not only get to live here, but I get to work here every day too—it’s perfect!’
