Guide to Markets in Hobart & Southern Tasmania 2026

Salamanca Market is Hobart’s most iconic and visited market, held every Saturday from 8:30am to 3:00pm at Salamanca Place. With over 300 stalls set against the historic Georgian sandstone warehouses and Hobart’s waterfront, it has been running continuously since 1972 and is considered one of Australia’s great outdoor markets. The Farm Gate Market on Sunday mornings is equally beloved among food lovers and locals.

Salamanca Market runs every Saturday from 8:30am to 3:00pm at Salamanca Place in Hobart’s historic waterfront precinct. It operates year-round in all weather conditions and is free to attend. The market features over 300 stalls selling fresh produce, Tasmanian food and drinks, handmade crafts, art, jewellery, clothing, and antiques.

Yes — the Farm Gate Market runs every Sunday from 8:30am to 1:00pm on Bathurst Street in central Hobart. It focuses exclusively on Tasmanian-grown and made products, with producers selling direct to the public. Richmond Village Market also runs every Sunday at the Richmond Town Hall, about 25 minutes from Hobart’s CBD.

The Huon Valley has some of Southern Tasmania’s best regional markets. Willie Smith’s Artisan and Produce Market runs every Saturday at the Apple Shed in Grove. The Cygnet Market is held on the first and third Sunday of the month. The Judbury Market runs on the second Sunday, and the Franklin Market on the fourth Sunday at the historic Palais Theatre. The Lunawanna Makers and Produce Market on South Bruny Island also draws Huon Valley visitors on selected Sundays.

Yes — all markets listed in this guide are free to enter. Some stalls may have minimum purchase requirements for card payments, so it’s worth carrying a small amount of cash, particularly at smaller regional markets. Parking near Salamanca Market on Saturdays can be limited — arriving early or using the Regatta Grounds car park is recommended.

Salamanca Market’s 300+ stalls cover an enormous range — fresh Tasmanian fruit and vegetables, locally caught seafood, artisan cheeses, handmade chocolates, Tasmanian wines and spirits, handcrafted jewellery, ceramics, woodwork, paintings, prints, clothing, vintage goods, and hot street food from around the world. It’s equally good for grocery shopping, gift buying, and simply soaking up the atmosphere over a coffee.

The Farm Gate Market is a weekly Sunday morning market held on Bathurst Street in central Hobart, running from 8:30am to 1:00pm. It focuses specifically on Tasmanian-grown produce and locally made food products — think heritage vegetables, pasture-raised meats, small-batch preserves, sourdough bread, artisan cheeses, and freshly roasted coffee. Unlike Salamanca, the Farm Gate Market emphasises the grower-to-buyer connection, and many stall holders are the farmers and producers themselves.

Yes — the Hobart Twilight Market runs on selected Fridays throughout the year at Brooke Street Pier, from 4:30pm to 9:00pm. Between November and March, a second Twilight Market location operates at Long Beach in Sandy Bay on the first and second Fridays of the month. Both feature Tasmanian food, local drinks, design stalls, and live music.
