Sobre esta Tip
Art in the Park is a monthly Sunday market in St George's Park, next to the art museum, with craft, art, food, bric-a-brac and live music. Listings give morning hours, and stalls tend to pack up around lunchtime, so arrive early. If bad weather cancels it, the market has been moved to the following Sunday. Check the listing for that month before you go, because the date can shift.
