The Best Markets in Hobart for Local Produce & Artisan Wares

Markets mark the weekend in Hobart better than any alarm clock ever could. Coffee in hand, mountains in view, the city’s streets and showgrounds fill with people who know that the best way to understand Tasmania is to eat and wander at the same time.

As creative mainlanders continue drifting south and long-established locals keep doing what they’ve always done well, Hobart’s markets have become a meeting point of craft, produce and quiet excellence. The result is a line-up heavy on substance: scallop pies and sheep whey vodka, Bruny Island oysters and towers of Leatherwood honey, alongside handmade wares worth taking home. Arrive hungry, leave loaded.

The Best Markets in Hobart

Farm Gate Market

Hobart does Sunday mornings properly, and Farm Gate Market is the reason. Bathurst Street turns into a local pantry with a pulse: fruit and veg that actually looks alive, bakers who know their craft, growers who can tell you what’s good this week (and what isn’t), plus small-batch drinks and condiments that end up in suitcases. Start with breakfast from the food trucks, then shop like you mean it. Arrive early if you want first pick, and bring a bag with a strong handle.

Best for: Peak-season produce, breakfast, pantry raiding
Don’t miss: A coffee in hand before you commit to “just one more stall”

When: 8:30am to 1pm, Sundays

104 Bathurst Street, Hobart

Salamanca Market

Salamanca Market is the headliner, and it more than earns the billing. It’s the big Saturday sweep: hundreds of stalls, serious people-watching, and enough Tassie-made goods to cover your kitchen, your weekend wardrobe, and your snack situation in one hit. There’s produce, yes, but the real charm is the variety. Go with a plan if you like efficiency. Go without one if you like joy. Either way, wear shoes you can trust.

Best for: Local crafts, gifts, and an all-morning browse
Sitchu tip: Time it with a late breakfast nearby, and you’ve won the day

When: 8:30am to 3pm, Saturdays

Salamanca Place, Hobart

Tasmanian Produce Market

Across the water in Rosny Park, this is the eastern shore’s market flex. It’s tight, well curated, and strong on food. You’ll find excellent growers, smart makers, baked goods worth queuing for, and enough tasting opportunities to turn “quick stop” into a full wander. The Kangaroo Bay setting does not hurt. Neither does the idea of stocking up, then taking your haul to the waterfront.

Best for: Produce plus design, easy Saturday flow, eastern shore exploring

When: 9am to 1pm, Saturdays

20 Kangaroo Bay Drive, Rosny Park

Hobart Twilight Market

Hobart at dusk has a certain glow, and this market leans into it. On select Friday evenings, Brooke Street Pier becomes a street-food and maker line-up with live music and harbour views. In warmer months you may also catch a Long Beach edition in Sandy Bay, which turns the evening into a relaxed, seaside dinner plan. Dates vary, so it pays to check what’s on before you head out.

Best for: Dinner via food vans, twilight energy, after-work grazing
Order like a local: Something briny, something fried, something sweet

When: 4:30pm to 9pm, select Friday evenings

Brooke Street Pier, 12 Franklin Wharf, Hobart

17 Beach Road, Lower Sandy Bay (select dates)

Re-loved Market

For vintage hunters and secondhand romantics, Re-loved is the market with the sharp elbows and the best finds. Expect proper wardrobe treasure, homewares with personality, and locals doing a clean-out that somehow looks cooler than most retail racks. It runs every other month, so it feels like an event rather than an errand. If you love the chase, this one delivers.

Best for: Vintage clothing, secondhand design, treasure hunting
Sitchu tip: Get there early if you want the best pickings

When: 10:00am–2:00pm, 2nd Saturday every other month

30 Cambridge Road, Bellerive

New Norfolk Market

A short drive out of the city, New Norfolk’s market is a proper Saturday outing. High Street fills with a mix of produce, plants, handmade wares, baked goods, and a satisfying amount of miscellany. It has that classic small-town market feeling where half the crowd knows each other and the other half is delighted by it. Pair it with a river wander and a long lunch, and you’ve earned the day.

Best for: A day trip market, plants, old-school browsing
Make it a plan: Market first, lunch at The Agrarian Kitchen second, antiques third

When: 8:00am–2:00pm, Saturdays

High Street, New Norfolk

Willie Smith’s Artisan Market

Down in the Huon Valley, Willie Smith’s Apple Shed pulls off something very Tasmania: a market among orchards, plus cider on the other side of the browse. You’ll find local produce, preserves, ceramics, small makers, and enough snack potential to justify staying for a drink afterwards. Market hours can vary between listings and seasons, so check before you commit to a late arrival.

Best for: Huon Valley produce, makers, a market-with-a-cider finish
Order: Cider after your big shop

When: Saturdays, commonly listed 10:00am–3:00pm (check schedule)

2064 Huon Highway, Grove

Bream Creek Farmers Market

This one is for people who travel for flavour. Held on the 1st Sunday of every month at the Bream Creek Showgrounds, it’s a growers-and-makers market that rewards the drive with proper Tasmanian produce, baked goods, and small-batch treats. It’s rural, friendly, and built around what’s local and in season. Bring a cooler bag if you’re planning to stock up.

Best for: Farmers market purists, regional producers, pantry stocking

Sitchu tip: It’s a monthly Tassie market, so time your trip

When: 9am to 1pm, 1st Sunday of every month

138 Marion Bay Road, Bream Creek, Tasmania

Cygnet Market

Cygnet’s market has that Huon Valley mix of creative spirit and practical goodness. It runs twice a month and draws locals, visitors, and the sort of stallholders who do both “handmade” and “useful” very well. Expect ceramics, knits, books, plants, baked goods, and a gentle sense that everyone has time. Make a day of it by pairing your visit with a bakery stop and a slow town wander.

Best for: A country market mood, handmade wares, a relaxed day out
Add on: Bakery stop at Poolish & Co while you’re in town

When: 10am to 2pm, 1st and 3rd Sunday of the month

14 Mary Street, Cygnet

Sitchu Tip for Travellers

If you only have one weekend in Hobart, make it Farm Gate Market (Sunday) for peak produce and breakfast energy, Salamanca Market (Saturday) for the big, iconic browse, and Tasmanian Produce Market (Saturday, Rosny Park) for an eastern shore hit of excellent food, drink and makers.
