Bella Vista Farm Markets: 1st Sunday, from 9am

About this market

Bella Vista Farm is a heritage homestead with a hill, a stand of old trees and a view back across the Hills district, and on the first Sunday of the month it hosts a market in its grounds. The setting does a lot of the work here, and the market has sensibly built around it rather than competing with it.

Handmade, local, and a scone in the middle of it

The stall brief is high quality, handmade and locally produced, which makes this a life and style market rather than a produce one. What lifts it above the many Sydney markets with the same description is what the volunteers add: Devonshire teas served in the heritage area, and tours of the homestead itself for anyone who wants to see inside. Both are run by volunteers, and both are the reason people stay for two hours instead of forty minutes.

ToursOf the homestead

Bella Vista Farm Park is owned by The Hills Shire and the homestead is one of the older surviving farm buildings in the district, which is why the heritage area is a genuine attraction and not a marketing line.

The closing time moves with the season

Opening is nine all year, but the market closes at 2pm from April to September and 3pm from October to March. This page records the shorter winter window, so if you arrive at half past two in January there will still be stalls trading. The reverse mistake, arriving at half past two in June, is the one worth avoiding.

Good to know before you go

Bring cash and a hat. The site is open and the hill catches both sun and wind, so it is a hot market in February and a bracing one in July. Parking is at the park and fills through the morning. Go for the market and stay for the homestead: the tours are short, free of the usual museum stiffness, and give the site context that a lap of the stalls will not. It is a fifteen minute walk from Bella Vista metro station if you would rather not drive.
