The Best Canberra Markets: 2024 Guide
13th December 2023
Over the last few years, there has been an explosion of new Canberra Markets. Alongside the regular favourites like the Old Bus Depot Markets and the Hall Markets, there are new markets popping up throughout the Capital.
The Best Markets in Canberra
Wandering through the local markets in Canberra is one of my favourite weekend activities. These are the best markets in Canberra:
Haig Park Village Markets
The Haig Park Village Markets are run every Sunday in Haig Park in Braddon. These markets have been getting more popular over the last year, and there’s usually a great selection of vendors selling fresh fruit and vegetables, baked goods, flowers and more. You’ll also find a selection of food and coffee options.
The Old Bus Depot Markets
The Old Bus Depot Markets have been running for 22 years and is one of the more popular markets in Canberra with over 200 stalls. The Old Bus Depot Markets run every Sunday in Kingston. There is plenty of free parking nearby, and the markets are indoors, so it doesn’t matter if it’s raining outside.
Capital Region Farmers Market
The Capital Region Farmers Market is the best place to pick up fresh produce in Canberra. The market is a community project run by the Rotary Club of Hall.
The Farmers Market is held at EPIC every Saturday from 7:00am to 11:30am. There are over 100 stallholders each week selling fruit and veg, baked goods, small goods, meat & seafood and much more.
Southside Farmers Market
If you live Southside, then the best farmers market is the Southside Farmers Market. It runs every Sunday at Canberra College in Phillip. There is always a great selection of stores selling fresh produce.
Hartley Hall Markets
The Hartley Hall Markets run on the first Sunday of every month at the Hall Showgrounds in the historic town of Hall in Canberra’s north. It’s one of Australia’s largest home-made markets. Entry is via a gold coin donation.
Handmade Markets
The Handmade Markets run 4 times a year at EPIC. These markets have over 250 stalls with unique handmade products from small businesses.
The Little Burley Market
The Little Burley Markets are one of Canberra’s newer markets. They happen on the shores of Lake Burley Griffin every Saturday morning. While this market isn’t as big as some of the others, it makes a great stop while walking around the lake.
