Murwillumbah Cottage Market
A twice-monthly general market at Knox Park in Murwillumbah, trading every first and third Saturday in the Tweed Valley.
About this market
Murwillumbah Cottage Market trades at Knox Park in Murwillumbah on the first and third Saturday of every month, run by Markets Down Under. As a general market, the stall mix leans broad rather than themed: produce, plants, food, arts and craft, and bric-a-brac all turn up on a typical market Saturday, which makes it as much a place to browse as to do a weekly shop.
A twice-monthly fixture at Knox Park
Knox Park sits in the middle of Murwillumbah, a Tweed Valley town about half an hour inland from the Gold Coast and close to the New South Wales/Queensland border. The town's heritage streetscape and art deco buildings give the area a character of its own, and the view of Wollumbin (Mount Warning) rising over the valley is one of the more photographed backdrops in the region. Because the market only runs twice a month rather than weekly, it tends to draw a mix of regulars and visitors passing through on a Tweed Valley day trip, rather than functioning as a routine local shop.
Market at a glance
Two markets, one park, one Saturday a month
The third Saturday is the one to note on the calendar: alongside Murwillumbah Cottage Market's own stalls, Knox Park also hosts the separately organised Makers & Finders Market that day, which bills itself as the Tweed's premier makers market and draws handmade goods, vintage finds and live studio demonstrations from the neighbouring M-Arts precinct. The two run independently rather than as one combined event, so stallholders and opening times can differ between them even though they share the same park and date.
On the third Saturday of each month, Knox Park hosts two markets side by side: Murwillumbah Cottage Market and the separately organised Makers & Finders Market, which describes itself as the Tweed's premier makers market.
For anyone planning a visit, the first Saturday of the month is Murwillumbah Cottage Market on its own, with a quieter, smaller-scale feel than the shared third Saturday. Specific trading hours and entry cost aren't published anywhere consistent enough to state with confidence, so it's worth confirming the exact start time before driving out, particularly if timing a visit around the neighbouring Makers & Finders Market as well.
