The Best Markets in Hobart for Local Produce & Artisan Wares
From premium local produce to vintage finds and handmade homewares, these are the best markets in Hobart and surrounds to pay a visit.
Looking for the best markets in Hobart? Start with Salamanca Market on Saturday and Farm Gate Market on Sunday, then branch out to Tasmanian Produce Market in Rosny Park, Hobart Twilight Market and regional favourites including Cygnet and Bream Creek.
Markets mark the weekend in Hobart better than any alarm clock ever could. Coffee in hand, kunanyi / Mount Wellington on the horizon, the city’s streets and showgrounds fill with growers, bakers, makers and people very happy to spend the morning eating their way from stall to stall.
The haul is distinctly Tasmanian: peak-season produce, scallop pies, Bruny Island oysters, Leatherwood honey, local spirits, bread still warm from the oven and handmade wares you’ll be finding space for in the suitcase. Some are made for breakfast, others warrant a drive into the Huon Valley or Tasman Peninsula. This guide covers the best markets in Hobart and nearby, including Saturday, Sunday and evening markets, plus what to eat, buy and look out for at each.

The Best Markets in Hobart
Farm Gate Market
Hobart does Sunday mornings very right, and Farm Gate Market is one of the reasons. Bathurst Street fills with growers, bakers and producers selling whatever Tasmania is doing particularly well that week: stone fruit in summer, mushrooms and brassicas when the weather turns, warm bread, cheese, preserves and bottles that somehow end up in hand luggage. Breakfast first, shopping second. The growers are worth talking to, especially if dinner plans are still vague.
Best for: Peak-season produce, breakfast, pantry raiding
Don’t miss: Asking the growers what they’d take home themselves
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 Derwent in Rosny Park, Saturday morning belongs to the Tasmanian Produce Market. Kangaroo Bay Park fills with local farmers and producers selling fruit and vegetables, jams, chutneys, sauces and small-batch drinks, with a smaller showing of Tasmanian jewellery, homewares and textiles. It’s compact enough to wander without losing the morning, though the view across the river to kunanyi/Mount Wellington may convince you to stay a little longer.
Best for: Local produce, pantry finds, an easy Eastern Shore Saturday
Don’t miss: A lap of the stalls before deciding what’s coming home
When: 9am to 1pm, Saturdays
20 Kangaroo Bay Drive, Rosny Park
Hobart Twilight Market
Friday dinner comes with a harbour view at the Hobart Twilight Market, when Brooke Street Pier fills with food stalls, local producers and live music. In the warmer months, the market also heads to Long Beach in Sandy Bay, swapping the city waterfront for grass, sand and an easy seaside dinner. Dates move throughout the year, so check the calendar before making plans.
Best for: Street food, live music, Friday-night grazing
Order like a local: Something briny, something fried, something sweet
When: 4:30pm to 9pm, selected Friday evenings
Brooke Street Pier, 12 Franklin Wharf, Hobart
Long Beach, 17 Beach Road, Lower Sandy Bay (selected dates)

Re-loved Market
A good secondhand market should require a little rummaging, and Re-loved delivers plenty of it. Racks of vintage and pre-loved clothing take over Bellerive Boardwalk every other month, joined by shoes, accessories, records, old homewares, furniture and a smaller contingent of emerging designers and makers. There’s music in the mix, coffee close at hand and enough turnover between markets to keep the hunt interesting. Cross the river early and inspect everything.
Best for: Vintage clothing, records and one-off secondhand finds
Sitchu tip: Bring cash as backup, and give anything vintage a proper once-over before buying
When: 10:00am–2:00pm, second Saturday every other month
Bellerive Boardwalk, 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
Saturday mornings in the Huon Valley come with apples attached. Willie Smith’s Artisan Market gathers local growers, artists and producers at the Apple Shed each week, with farm produce, preserves, ceramics, handmade wares and upcycled pieces changing with the stallholders. The market is deliberately kept mid-sized, so browsing still feels pleasantly local rather than overwhelming. Once the bags are full, move inside for a cider and a slice of the house apple pie. You are in apple country, after all.
Best for: Huon Valley produce, local craft and a cider afterwards
Order: A Willie Smith’s cider and a slice of apple pie
When: Saturdays, 10:00am–2:00pm
2064 Huon Highway, Grove
Bream Creek Farmers Market
Here, the paddocks are part of the pantry. Bream Creek Farmers Market gathers growers, cooks, brewers and makers at the showgrounds each month, with produce sold by the people behind it. Look for Bream Creek Dairy cheese made from cows grazing beside the market, Tongola goat cheese, local honey, olive oil, sourdough, preserves, wine and ginger beer. The community stall gathers smaller harvests from nearby gardens, while live music makes a strong argument for eating lunch on the grass.
Best for: Farm-gate produce, Tasmanian cheese and pantry stocking
Sitchu tip: Bring a cooler bag. The cheese haul alone may require it.
When: 9am–1pm, first Sunday of every month; check ahead for shorter winter hours
138 Marion Bay Road, Bream Creek
Cygnet Market
Cygnet doesn’t pack up when winter arrives. Cygnet Market runs year-round in and around the Town Hall, with around 50 regular stalls and live music carrying through the colder months. Fresh produce, plants and hot food share space with handmade clothing, books, bric-a-brac and the odd wonderfully specific thing nobody came looking for. It suits Cygnet beautifully: useful, creative, pleasantly unpolished.
Best for: Local produce, handmade wares and old-fashioned rummaging
Add on: Walk down Mary Street for sourdough or a French pastry at Poolish & Co.
When: 10am–2pm, first and third Sunday of every month
14 Mary Street, Cygnet
