Is there anything better than a crisp Tassie morning, a coffee in hand, and the promise of a market adventure? Hobart’s markets aren’t just places to shop—they’re where the region’s quirks, flavours, and creative souls come out to play. If you’re keen to experience Southern Tasmania like a real local (with a side of cheekiness), here’s your weekend guide to the best markets in Hobart and beyond.
Let’s start with the big one. Salamanca Market is Hobart’s Saturday ritual, rain, hail, or that classic sideways Tassie sunshine. Set against the sandstone warehouses of Salamanca Place, this market is a riot of colour and character. You’ll find everything from farm-fresh apples and steaming scallop pies to local art, hand-thrown pottery, and the sort of knitwear that’ll make your mainland mates jealous.
Insider tip: Arrive early to beat the crowds and nab the best pastries. Chat to the stallholders—they’re full of stories, and you might just discover the next big thing in Tasmanian gin.
Sundays are for sleep-ins and the Farm Gate Market. Bathurst Street transforms into a foodie’s playground, bursting with seasonal produce, artisan cheese, and more sourdough varieties than you thought possible. This is where Hobart’s chefs shop, and if you’re lucky, you’ll spot a few picking up their weekly haul.
Don’t miss: The hot smoked salmon rolls, local honey tastings, and the occasional busker belting out a tune that’ll have you dancing between the carrots and kale.
Think you’ve ticked off Hobart’s markets? There’s a whole lot more to discover, both in the city and on a cheeky road trip. The Hobart Twilight Market pops up at Brooke Street Pier and Long Beach, Sandy Bay, serving up Friday night eats, Tassie drinks, artisan stalls, and live music with a laid-back, dog-friendly vibe. Foodies should swing by the Tasmanian Produce Market for local growers, fresh produce, and gourmet treats.
Further afield, the Willie Smith’s Artisan and Produce Market in Grove is a Huon Valley favourite—think handmade goods, local honey, and breakfast in an apple shed. The Cygnet Market (1st and 3rd Sundays) is a creative community hub packed with local crafts and produce. Over in the Coal River Valley, the Richmond Village Market (every Saturday) is your go-to for regional produce, artisan wares, and a side of Tassie history.
