bangalow market

A wonderful selection of stalls, earthy music in the background as you wonder through the inviting smells! So much to look at, and so much choice for lunch! Suggest you arrive early to get a park and beat the crowds :-)

We arrived approx 8.30, parked easily and enjoyed walking under the shady trees before the summer heat became unpleasant.This is a vey impressive country market. Innovative crafts people, food artisans, local produce!Probably the best I have been to in a long time.They stall holders selling their wares inspire me to be creativeLoooooved it!

What a wonderful market to visit. There were plenty of stalls selling lots of interesting things. My girlfriend and I bought an artisan loaf of bread and had a lovely brunch under the shade of one of the many large trees there. The location is just wonderful with lots of big shady trees. We'll be back.

The market had lots of different stores that just about anyone would find something to purchase from.. There were a lot of buskers playing very nice chilled music.. Plenty of meal options available as well.. It's definitely worth a look..

Good quality fresh locally grown food served by friendly store holders. The Bangalow market isn't as extensive as the Byron Bay Farmers' Market but it's still good and recommended.

The markets are worth a visit. We came to Bangalow on a day trip from Byron on the way to Nimbin. Bangalow is a lovely traditional town. The markets offer a variety of stalls which sell lots of handmade goods and different stalls that sell a variety of food.

I used to love Bangalow. Years ago it was an adorable little town, and on the surface it still is. It is set in absolutely gorgeous countryside (albeit currently in the process of being raped by a motorway extension) but it’s in grave danger of becoming a victim of its own success. The inevitable influx of pretentious ex-city dwellers has slowly eroded what used to make this place so quaint and special. These days we only visit Bangalow when the markets are on. It’s a really easy drive from Brisbane (beware the time difference during daylight saving) and we enjoy making a full day of it by having breakfast at Harvest at nearby Newrybar (fabulous) browsing the markets and then stopping at Utopia for a coffee before we leave. The markets have good parking, an excellent variety of stalls, nice produce and a lot of very talented craftspeople selling things you can't find at other markets. The stallholders are friendly and I always manage to bring home something lovely. We used to enjoy the shopping in Bangalow itself too, but these days the shops are flogging the same stuff as everywhere else, just more expensive. The only thing that's free is the uppity attitude of some of the shop owners. For example, I made a special trip to buy three gorgeous wire pendant-lights from a homewares place about 6 months ago and left empty handed after the female owner glanced at me, decided I didn’t make the grade and went back to her conversation with a local desperate-housewife clone without so much as a ‘good morning’ or a ‘can I help you’. I waited and waited at the counter….then walked out and my $1500 stayed in my bank account. These days my only remaining Bangalow ‘must-do’ is a stop at the butcher (sadly, they’re closed on Sundays) and I save the rest of my money for the markets and a few take-home loaves of amazing sourdough bread from Harvest Deli.

This market has something for everyone, set in beautiful grounds, with large trees, plenty of cheap parking nearby. A must visit if you are in the area when it's on.

We enjoyed browsing the stalls at the Bangalow markets including buy a Byron Bay "organic donut" which are famous. The best donuts I have tasted since my mothers yeast based donuts which she cooked in the 1960's and 1970's. The range of stalls is great and I found some very tasty and reasonably priced avocados and custard apples. There was an art exhibition on in the hall which we enjoyed visiting. Plenty of original art and craft items to choose from and lots of choices for food.

Make sure you arrive hungry because there is a wonderful selection of food from all over the world to snack on - plenty of yum healthy and vegetarian tucker as well of course. A couple of good juice bars and coffee huts too. Good fresh fruit & veg from local producers. There's plenty of local crafts, I especially liked the beautiful toys and cushions one lady had fashioned from vintage Onkaparinga blankets but unfortunately had no need of one myself. There's plenty of well organised parking in the adjoining paddocks for only $2 with proceeds going to local community organizations. Not a lot of vintage stuff if that's what you're after but a great local market that accommodates hundreds of people at a time. It's on the last Sunday of each month.

A great little market where local growers showcase their produce.Fresh herbs and salads are bountiful.Fruity leather (dried fruit) also seemed a favourite.Must try Rancho handmade lime juice (silver and gold medal winner of the royal agricultural society of Tasmania awards). Also try his Elderflower juice with no added sugar - can buy fresh in a cup $3 or concentrate 375ml bottle $12.Lots of locals buying here which is always a good sign.

We really enjoyed our visit to Bangalow market. We were impressed by the amount of stalls and the craftsmanship involved in making some of the items for sale; we could have spent a small fortune if we'd have bought everything that took our fancy!The market has a nice vibe to it, and we enjoyed listening to the two sets of performers.A great rural market, in a wonderful setting.

We haven't been to the Bangalow Market for about 30 years (oops, age showing...) but apart from the growth in the number of stalls, it still has the same "country feel". Good quality food outlets, good local produce and plenty of local handcrafts and artisans. Some very good music, too. A really great morning with plenty of atmosphere.

We visited the market as a group of all ages and found stalls selling products that were extremely poor in quality with an extremely high price tag. There were people stumbling around the place looking very worse for wear and entertainers not actually entertaining and expecting money in return. The 2 women shouting at the gate for donations for their anti coal seam gas protest were very off putting. We all hated every minute and didn't buy a thing.

Bangalow village market is a must do , set in the local show ground under the shade of the camphor laurels . fantastic food stalls , arts, crafts, unusual clothing, plenty of home grown fruit and veggies , plant stalls ....you name it it is there.Excellent music in 2 areas , buskers and colourful characters.. great to to visit.Parking can be difficult in town but there is a lot of parking behind the markets for a small donation of $2.This market has a fantastic feeling and in a beautiful setting...
