Zoo Drive, NORTH GARDENS RESERVE (just off Wendouree Parade, Lake Wendouree)
The markets operate on the Second and Fourth Saturdays of each month and feature the same management & core stallholders.
We operate all year round – including in the winter – so you have regular access to our wonderful stallholders. Some stallholders only come once a month, and others have highly seasonal produce, so the range of stalls varies at each market. In Winter 2026, we will operate from the shelter of the Equestrian Centre at the new Ballarat Showgrounds. We’re excited to be able to offer a quality market experience indoors, away from wind & rain, for the months of June, July & August. The Showgrounds are only 10 minutes from our regular venue in the North Gardens Reserve.
We hope you have a great experience visiting our market! Thanks for supporting our hardworking and creative stallholders who bring such a wide range of fabulous produce & products to the market.
Stalls include: both organic & non-organic fruit & vegetables, bread & cakes, meat, cheese, eggs, cider, wine, non-alcoholic drinks, dry goods (spices, grains & pulses), vegetarian baked goods, jam, mushrooms, honey, healthy snack bars, balsamic vinegar, hot chilli sauce, salami, roasted nuts, hot take-away food (sausage sizzle, pasties, meat/pork/breakfast rolls, dumplings, vegetarian sausage rolls, gozleme, and much more!). Some of the other options from our stallholders include jewellery, ear rings, local art, wooden chopping boards, vegetarian dog treats, cards, clothing, hemp products, vegetable and flower seedlings, bulbs, native plants, fresh ground locally blended coffee, tea blends, eco homewares, bamboo products, eucalyptus products, country crafts, garden ornaments … and lots more!
Yes, we always have a coffee van on site!
Remember, the stallholder range varies with the seasons as one of our priorities is to create outlets for local and seasonal producers. Some of our producers come just once or twice a year, so you never know what you’ll find!
We also have a FREE stall for local community groups, so please contact us if you’d like to promote your school, charity or service club. Email ballaratmarkets@gmail.com to apply.
