Best Markets in Wollongong: Farmers Markets, Food Markets and Artisan Fairs Guide

Wollongong's market scene provides excellent weekly farmers market access to Illawarra and Southern Highlands produce, with the Saturday Wollongong Farmers Market at the Gleniffer Brae Manor and the popular Corrimal Markets providing the main weekly market calendar. The proximity to the Southern Highlands (Mittagong, Bowral) and the South Coast (Kiama, Berry) also gives Wollongong residents access to some of NSW's finest regional weekend markets within 45 to 60 minutes.

Wollongong Farmers Market — the Wollongong Farmers Market (Saturday 8am to noon, Gleniffer Brae Manor and Gardens, free entry) is Wollongong's finest farmers market, with Illawarra, Southern Highlands, and South Coast producers selling direct-from-farm produce, artisan food, and specialty goods. The Gleniffer Brae Manor setting (a heritage house with beautiful gardens above Wollongong) is unusually picturesque for a farmers market.

Corrimal Markets — the Corrimal Markets (Sunday 8am to 1pm, Corrimal Leagues Club, free entry) are Wollongong's most popular community market, with 200+ stalls of fresh produce, artisan crafts, clothing, and food in the northern suburb of Corrimal. Reliable value for everyday shopping and browsing.

Berry Slow Food Market — the Berry Slow Food Market (first Sunday of each month, 8am to noon, Prince Alfred Street Berry, free entry) is one of NSW's finest regional farmers markets, 50 minutes south of Wollongong in the heritage town of Berry. The South Coast's dairy, beef, specialty produce, and artisan food producers make this an exceptional market that is well worth the drive.

Kiama Farmers and Artisan Market — the Kiama Farmers and Artisan Market (fourth Sunday of each month, Kiama Showground, free entry) provides direct-from-farm Illawarra and South Coast produce in the attractive coastal town of Kiama, 50 minutes south of Wollongong.
