The Market… Tasmania Shopping Delight!

Author: In Tasmania? Shopping? Then off to The Market we go!
Tasmania: Shopping, Art & Design
Simply called The Market, this lovely Tasmanian shopping experience was established in April 2009. Billed as a boutique art and design event, it is held each month at the Masonic Temple on Sandy Bay Road, Hobart.

Directly opposite St David’s Park, the Masonic Temple building is a worthy venue for the independent designers, having unique characteristics and a great show-case environment.
Split over two levels and having a smaller room separate to the main hall, it provides the shopper with a journey of discovery.

The Market: Treasure
The Market shopping experience in no way resembles a trash and treasure hunt – it’s treasure all the way! The assembled artists obviously combine their creative talents with a passion for unique and quirky designs; each stall presenting fashionable and high-quality, individual items.

Tasmanian Made Presents & Produce
Selling locally-made works of art, The Market offers space to a different group each month. Another attraction in Hobart, Tasmania (shopping aside) where each occasion offers interesting discoveries.
It’s the perfect place to find a special, more personalised present. And what market would be complete without some yummy, indulgent treats on the side?

The Market Gallery: Photographic Exhibition
The conveners also maintain The Market website, where you can get a sneak peek into the delights on offer and plan the date of your visit. They profile some of the stall-holders and reveal the resident artist in the upstairs gallery. On the day of my visit, I was lucky to strike a photographic exhibition, and I was suitably impressed!

An ideal place to relax with a coffee and paper. The wife enjoyed browsing through the tightly packed halls of unique craft stalls b efore joining me upstairs for a cream tea.
Another Sunday morning favourite is the farmers market in a North Hobart car park. Why not visit this market first then take a walk to the Masonic Hall for the craft market in the afternoon.
Good idea, Roger – we’ve been to the Farmers Market in Melville St, Hobart, but only once so far. We had some fabulous hot soup! They operate there 9-1 every Sunday… and we must visit again soon. We’ll take the camera next time and get more info for Think Tasmania.
