Enough talk about Orchard being a dead town. This weekend, make your way to Wheelock Place and make use of the discounts offered to get your shopping done. At local multi-label store Naiise, you get 10 percent off storewide, while at Cumulus and Nimbus, the slashed prices go all the way down with 80 percent discounts. For those who can’t leave the house without their favourite worn-down Dr Martens, now’s the time to get another pair, with 20 percent off items displayed at a booth. And if you’re craving Thai food, Bangkok Jam is offering 20 percent off a la carte items.
There’ll also be demonstrations by Fashion Makerspace, where you can learn sewing machine skills as the instructors teach you how to make a pyramid pouch and zippered wristlet. If plants are more your thing, Knovus is conducting a workshop on how to build an open terrarium, with tips on how to keep yours healthy (and alive).
Providing the melodies for the weekend are musicians Amanda Tee, The Jukuleles and Sam Driscoll.
OYAY Summer Weekend Market is on May 28-29, 11am-9pm at Wheelock Place Level 2. Free.
