The Best Markets in Launceston and Surrounds

Markets are a brilliant way to celebrate a community’s artisans, growers, and makers—and one of the most enjoyable ways to get to know a city. Take a local approach and dive into Launceston’s thriving market scene, where the UNESCO City of Gastronomy puts its finest produce on show. From food-centric markets brimming with fresh fare to craft stalls showcasing the work of Tasmania’s northern makers, these are the best markets in Launceston to sample top-notch eats, source fresh produce, and uncover one-of-a-kind treasures.

Harvest Market

A Saturday morning staple for Launnie locals, Harvest Market is the place to soak up the best of the region’s producers. Grab a coffee from Ritual Coffee, tuck into breakfast from a food van, then meander through stalls brimming with fresh finds—nuts, cheeses, meats, veggies, gin, cider, fungi, and flowers.

It’s a proper weekend ritual, buzzing with energy, flavours, and community spirit. If you’re in Launceston, this is where your Saturday should start.

Saturdays, 8:30am to 12:30pm 

71 Cimitiere Street, Launceston 

Evandale Market 

Just 20 minutes from town, Evandale Market is a classic country gem, serving up second-hand finds, bric-a-brac, fresh local produce, and plenty of old-school charm. Think homemade preserves, granny crafts, and food stalls stacked with doughnuts and pastries.

It’s the kind of place where you come for a browse and leave with a bag full of unexpected treasures. Grab a snack, soak up the laid-back vibes, and enjoy a proper rural market experience.

Sundays, 8am to 1:30pm 

8 Logan Road, Evandale

Ross Village Market

Step into the charm of yesteryear at the Ross Village Market, held inside the historic Ross Town Hall. Taking place on the third Sunday of each month, this classic country market brims with local treasures—from handcrafted goods and artworks to homemade preserves and specialty pies. Indulge in a hearty homemade breakfast or lunch, paired with a steaming cup of tea or coffee. Rain or shine, this undercover market is a must-visit, perfectly paired with a wander through Ross’ storied streets and heritage sites.

World Street Eats 

This family-friendly community market is a monthly celebration of Launceston’s rich multiculturalism, bringing together flavours from around the world for a Sunday feast. True to its name, World Street Eats serves up everything from Afghan Bolani (stuffed flatbread) to Tasmanian seafood-laden paella and crispy Korean pancakes topped with tangy kimchi.

Come hungry, bring a few extra stomachs, and stretch out on the lawn for a sun-soaked Sunday filled with incredible food and good vibes.

Devonport Farmers Market 

Just over an hour from Launceston, the Devonport Farmers Market is where locals, growers, and artisans come together for a proper feast of the senses. Held fortnightly at the Devonport Showgrounds, it’s a treasure trove of just-picked vegetables, homemade treats, lush plants, and some of the best gourmet goods in North West Tassie—plus the biggest eggs you’ve ever seen.

Grab a coffee, tuck into something delicious, and soak up the live music. A damn good way to spend a morning. (Heads up: the market takes a winter break but returns with a Twilight Market in December.)
