This turns into Lord St and then it turns into Guildford Road. The total distance from St Georges Tce to Bassendean is 11km or about 15 minutes drive. There is plenty of parking as can be seen in the map above. Opening Hours & Calendar for the Markets From April to October the markets are held on the last Sunday of the month.

We hold them on the last Saturday of the month except in December when they are held on the Saturday before Christmas. They operate from 5.30pm to 9.30pm. We do not hold a market in Jaunary at all.

Every Saturday morning from May to October the Carnarvon town centre comes alive with the Gascoyne Growers’ Markets. The market is a run by the growers themselves, who often pick their produce just the night before the market (sometimes even that very morning) to ensure you take home the freshest, tastiest produce in WA. A visit to the markets makes it very clear why the Gascoyne has the well earned reputation of being the “salad bowl of WA”, with a surprisingly diverse range of fruit and vegetables, lush tropical fruits, eggs and seafood on offer. Fill your basket then grab a coffee and some breakfast, listen to the buskers, or browse through the adjacent Arts and Craft market. The Gascoyne Growers Markets are proudly plastic bag free, so please remember to BYO bag. Source from: http://www.gascoynefood.com.au/growers-market/

Perth Upmarket founder, Justine Barsley, moved to Perth back in 2006 and found that whilst there were hosts of creative people, they were hard to find. She found it difficult to find a regular high quality market to sell her own designs and from this evolved the concept of Perth Upmarket. Perth Upmarket brings together over 150 of Perth’s talented artists, designers, stylists, craftspeople and gourmets all under one roof. The product mix is diverse ranging from handmade clothing, cupcakes, wall art, cards, homewares, jewellery to skin care products. The market allows Perth shoppers who appreciate the handmade to connect with the talented creators. Established in 2008, Perth Upmarket quickly established itself as Perth’s premier quarterly market for handcrafted wares. Due its popularity, in 2010 Perth Upmarket moved from the Perth Town Hall to the beautiful, more spacious and more accessible Winthrop Hall which is part of the University of Western Australia. In addition to Upmarket’s regular quarterly event, the Perth Upmarket team also runs two Wedding Upmarkets each year and pop up events across Western Australia.

In this time we have raised over $30,000 to help seriously ill children. Source of text and image from: http://www.perthupmarket.com.au/about/

It is a weekly event where local farmers can bring their fresh produce direct from the farm to the local community, effectively bringing produce from the “paddock to the plate”. The aim of the Kyilla Community Farmers’ Market is to engage and strengthen community spirit. The market provides the opportunity to; walk down the street to do your weekly grocery shopping talk to your neighbours over a cup of coffee prepared by a local barista speak with the person who produced the food you will be taking home to eat expose your family to the range of good seasonal produce locally available support your local school, businesses and community and eat fresh, local, affordable produce.

MiLi Markets & Events began in July 2014 as Ladies Night Markets. Founded by Lisa and Michelle as a way to promote their own small businesses over the quiet winter market season. The first event was on July 25 in Currambine and was a ladies only event which was hugely successful and had ladies begging for more events. The remainder of 2014 saw 5 more Ladies Night markets and Ladies Night Market's following increase dramatically. In 2015 it was decided to also run daytime markets for the entire family as well as continue the successful Ladies Night formula. Ladies Night Markets became MiLi Markets & Events to better reflect the new direction. Event organisers are now approaching MiLi Markets to assist with the market and stall aspect of their events. MiLi Markets were asked to operate a market in conjunction with ECU Joondalup's Open Day, and ECU Joondalup's Lunchtime Markets as well. MiLi Markets are also operating a craft market in conjunction with the very popular Maylands Hawkers Market as part of their grand re-opening for the summer season on October 31. MiLi Markets & Events has a large stallholder following due to our commitment to promoting each market heavily to get the shoppers through, solving any problems quickly on market day and being available for advice at any time. MiLi Markets & Events are running more than 20 markets in 2015 and plan to grow further every year! Source from: http://www.milimarkets.com/
