What happens throughout the year...

For the first time ever, the Hobart Showground Market will be holding a Twilight Market from Wednesday the 3^rd November through till Christmas.

The Market will operate from 5pm till 8pm Wednesdays, offering a wide array of quality goods, gifts, fruit and vegetables, plants, and just about anything you can think of. The beginning of a new tradition at the Hobart Showground – a classic Twilight Market!

Join us in June, July and August at Hobart's biggest and best undercover Market.

Just because winter has kicked in it doesn't mean we stop! With over 90 indoor stalls plus our many stoic outdoor plant sellers and casual household stalls you can't go past a great winter's day at the Showground Market!

There are other great events on Sundays to fill your day, like; the annual Train Show, Rug Sales, Concerts and animal shows. So get out of the house, get down to the Showground, let your hair down and meet a friend or two!

September and early October brings on our spring planting markets, with a fantastic array of plants, seedlings and great garden ideas just at the right time.

Late October the Market closes for two weeks while the Showground hosts the annual Royal Hobart Show so our hard working Stallholders receive a well earned rest. During this time the Showground reverts back to its traditional uses; exhibiting the best livestock, the cutest companion animals and exciting competitions of all kinds.

When the carnival sets up the ground's 17 hectares becomes a fabulous wonderland of entertainment and exchange! This year some of the Stallholders will be holding a Market throughout the Showtime in the Show Market Pavilion near the Poultry Pavilion.

June is when we hold our annual Stallholders dinner where stall holders bring a plate of sweets to compliment the fare provided. Here's your opportunity to mingle with the stall holders that you've been too busy to get to know. So get out of the house, get down to the Market, let your hair down and meet a friend or two!

Market reopens 31^st October.

November markets recommences 1^st November through to the New Year with a wild Christmas and gift buying frenzy.

We reopen with the raspberries and Pink Eyes coming into season just in time for Christmas. Flowers and potted plants are displayed in abundance, while cards, decorations, and an incredible selection of gifts can be found. There is even a FREE wrapping service during December provided by the Stallholders Promotion Group, and if we've been really good Santa usually makes a visit on the Sunday before Christmas.

January and February is well known for summer fruits so grab some mouthwatering local produce at Market prices, or buy that someone special a bunch of freshly cut flowers. Kids are still on holiday and a visit to the Hobart Showground Sunday Market is the best ‘my time’.

March is usually our best month for weather in Tassie and it brings out the best in stalls and displays. Take photos of your favorite stall, market personality, yourself, a market event or something quirky. You can send these photos to peter@hobartshowground.com.au and it might even be displayed in the pictures on the right of each webpage!

While you're at the Showground you can also take in various Dog Shows in the Kennel Pavilion, the trade shows in the Grandstand Complex or the Budgerigar and Canaries in the Poultry Pavilion.

April brings on the start of the Soccer season at the Showground, along with various Poultry and Avicultural Shows. It's a great time to be part of the Market, so amuse yourself while your kids play football or your partner admires the chooks. During April you'll be able to see the Arms & Militaria Collectors Show, Short & Curly Cat Show, Bantams in the Poultry Pavilion and the Avicultural Sale in the Kennel Pavilion.
