What else is on this week in Jervis Bay
As well as Australia Day events, this week in Jervis Bay has a lot going on – markets, agricultural shows, and specials for foodies
Agricultural Show Season
Two fantastic shows will entice you a little north, or south, of Jervis Bay. Grab a toffee apple and revel in the best of rural Australia right here on the Coast.

Markets galore this weekend
Is there a bigger weekend on the Aussie calendar than this? We have a block of markets (yes, that’s the collective noun for markets, I was hoping for something a little more colourful) from Berry to Mollymook and everything in between (think, Nowra and Pyree). There’s a market near you, wherever you are.
NOWRA Saturday 27 January is the Nowra Showground markets from 8-1.30, entry via Worrigee Street.
PYREE This is a beauty for arts and crafts, run by the Shoalhaven Potters. Find woodworking, embroidery, jewellery, plants, stone carving, cards, jams, preserves, soaps, lavender, scarves, baby wear, hot/cold food and a coffee! Oh, and pottery. Sunday 28 January 9-1.30.
BERRY The Berry Village Market is on Sunday 28 January at the Bowlo, 10-3. Browse more than 70 stalls of plants, farm fresh produce, street foods, coffee, honey and preserves, breads and pastries and much more.
