Bathurst Farmers Market: 4th Saturday, 8am to 12pm

About this market

Four hours, once a month, at the showground. The Bathurst Farmers Market keeps the format tight and the Central West does the rest: this is good farming country, and a monthly market is long enough for growers to bring something worth the drive without asking them to give up every Saturday.

A short window, deliberately

Gates open at eight and the market is done by noon. That concentration is the point of a monthly market. Rather than a thin spread of stalls across a long day, you get everything at once, and by mid-morning the showground is properly busy.

The showground itself is worth a look while you are there. It is one of the older ones in the state and the market uses the historic buildings and the grounds around them rather than a bare paddock.

Did you know?

December breaks the pattern. Eleven months of the year this is the fourth Saturday, but the December market moves forward to the third Saturday so it does not land on the Christmas weekend. It is the single most common way people get the date wrong, so check before a December trip.

Good to know before you go

A noon finish means an early start is not optional if you want the pick of the produce. Bring your own bags and boxes, and cash, since a monthly regional market is not the place to assume every grower has a card reader. The showground has room to park. If you are coming across from Sydney it is around three hours, so this works better as part of a weekend in the Central West than as a day trip, and Bathurst has enough going on to justify staying over.
