Glenbrook Rotary Markets

Glenbrook Rotary Markets began in 2004 with modest beginnings, just 25 stallholders setting up in the grounds of the then Glenbrook Infants School. Two decades later, in August 2024, the market celebrated its 20th anniversary, having grown to attract up to 90 stallholders on its busiest weekends, a genuine testament to how far a small Blue Mountains community fundraiser can grow.

Twenty years, and a book fair that's become a genuine drawcard

Throughout that growth, the market has remained a Lower Blue Mountains Rotary Club project, with proceeds from stall fees, the club's barbecue and entry gate donations supporting the club's charitable work across the community. The market's book fair has developed its own reputation among regulars, with reviewers specifically calling it out as a highlight distinct from the general market stalls.

Reviewers consistently describe a friendly, reasonably priced atmosphere, praising the book fair specifically and noting the third weekend of the month often draws a few more stalls than the first, though a handful mention that many stallholders only accept cash.

Good to know before you go

Bringing cash is genuinely important, since several regular stallholders don't accept card payments. Being a short walk from Glenbrook train station makes it an easy, car-free visit for anyone exploring the Blue Mountains by rail.
