What happens throughout the year...

March is usually our best month for weather in Tassie and it brings out the best in stalls and displays.  Take photos of your favourite stall, market personality, yourself, a market event or something quirky. You can send these photos to market@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 Caged Bird 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 Caged Bird Sale in the Kennel Pavilion.

May is time for thinking about Mum. Bring her to the Market for a day out and find a superb gift that will be unlike the rest!  Other events of interest during May include the Cat Fanciers Show, Poultry Show, Budgerigars.

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!

Come along any Sunday as there is always something going on!!

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.

Market reopens 30th October 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 Gift 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.

Following last year's trial of the Wednesday Twilight Market, we anticipate re-opening the Twilight Market in January 2012.  Watch this space for further details.

January and February are well known for summer fruits so grab some mouth-watering local produce at Market prices, or buy that someone special a bunch of freshly cut flowers.  A great day out for the Kid’s - enjoy Kid’s Corner with Jumping Castle and other amusements. A visit to the Hobart Showground Sunday Market is the best ‘my time’.

We look forward to you joining us at the Showground Market
where you can pick up great bargains in a fun and friendly atmosphere!
