The Evandale Market: What to Expect?
August 6th, 2010 | 
Author: The Evandale Market: what’s unique about this batch of market stalls? Well, you may have heard the phrase: everything but the kitchen sink? The Evandale Market (near Launceston) can boast having everything including the sink!!
Expect the unexpected at the Evandale Market!
The Evandale Market
Think Tasmania made a quick visit to the market during a trip to northern Tasmania to research the Penny Farthing Championships. This small village is about 15kms from Launceston, and the local airport lies between the two towns. We paid a gold coin for parking which included entrance to Falls Park on Logans Road, Evandale.
Market shopping takes various forms in Tasmania ranging from the gourmet, upmarket versions like Salamanca and “The Market” in Sandy Bay, Hobart. And then there’s the eclectic mix of craft, bric-a-brac, food and unexpected treasure that is the Evandale market.
Loved the recycled-denim handbag stalls!
Market Stalls and Pony Rides
Stalls spread out over the country grounds, between trees and roughly in rows. Children can indulge in pony rides while their parents enjoy browsing the photographs, hats and handbags; or just sipping a Sunday morning coffee.

Several semi-permanent stalls inside the old hall present colourful displays and interesting products. You can find unique, Tasmanian wares like the pet dinnerware sold by Studio Sebastian or select a Tasmanian holiday souvenir from the selection of local lavender gifts.

You can imagine genuine collectors actually discovering a real gem here. Not always possible in these days of mass production and shopping centres!

Hi, which weeks of the month does the kids train run at the markets?
mnay thanks, kathy
Hi Kathy. The following information is from the Evandale Light Rail & Steam Society…
ELRSS is open to the public on the 2nd and last Sunday of the month, weather permitting. The trains start running at 9:30am and the last one leaves the station at 12:55pm. The track is located behind the Evandale Market Hall (Russell Street, Evandale) and is accessed via the market. A ride costs $3 pp or $10 for a family of 4.
Hope this helps!
Regards, Tania
Kathy – another quick note. The information stands at the moment, but David has told us that the ELRSS will be moving some time in the next 12 months. Cheers, Tania
