Local Tip

When you stay Rydges, you stay local, and there’s nothing quite like a truly local experience.

Nothing beats a visit to the Capital Region Farmers Market, held every Saturday morning from 7 am at Exhibition Park. The market features some of Australia’s finest food producers and you don’t even have to wait until you get back home to try it, most stalls sell ready to eat delights made fresh, and hot, that morning.

Be sure to tag us on social media @rydgeshotels to share your local experiences with us.
