EQ Markets, Entertainment Quarter
Fifty stalls under the Market Canopy at Moore Park, twice a week, free to walk into and running for more than two decades.
Also known as Cambridge Markets, EQ Village Market, Entertainment Quarter Markets, Moore Park Produce Market, Entertainment Quarter Growers Markets.
About this market
Twice a week, fifty-odd stalls set up under the Market Canopy at the Entertainment Quarter and Moore Park gets a market that is neither a weekend event nor a produce-only affair. The Wednesday market is the interesting half: very few Sydney markets trade midweek at this scale, and it draws a different crowd to the Saturday one.
Produce, gourmet imports and a flower stall
The mix runs wider than the farmers-market label suggests. Seasonal fruit and vegetables and gourmet street food sit alongside boutique fashion, handmade jewellery, artisan gifts, homewares, art and flowers. One stall deals in gourmet French imports. Up to fifty stallholders is enough to fill a morning without being so many that you give up halfway.
Market at a glance
Being under a permanent canopy rather than a row of gazebos changes how the market behaves. Nothing gets cancelled for rain, stallholders can leave fittings in place, and the whole thing feels more like a covered arcade than a pop-up.
This market goes by several names and they are all the same thing. Cambridge Markets is the operator, EQ Markets is what the Entertainment Quarter calls it, and older listings say EQ Village Market or the Entertainment Quarter Growers Markets. Cambridge also runs the seasonal Easter and Christmas markets at the same site, which are separate one-off events on top of the twice-weekly market.
Good to know before you go
Come Wednesday if you want space and Saturday if you want atmosphere. The Entertainment Quarter has paid parking on site, and the easiest approach from the city is the light rail to the Moore Park stop and a short walk. It sits beside the SCG and Allianz Stadium, so on a Saturday with a game on, the whole precinct is busy well before the market closes at two. Bring bags. Most stalls take cards.
