Tabulam Community Markets

Tabulam Community Markets trades every second Sunday of the month, 9am to 1pm, at Tabulam Oval on Clarence Street in a Clarence River village of around 470 people, roughly midway between Tenterfield and Casino on the Bruxner Highway.

A once-a-month market in a small river town

With Tabulam counting well under 500 residents, this isn't a market built for scale. Stallholders set up with local produce, plants, crafts and general goods, and the market has carried a reputation for open-mike or live music running alongside the stalls, plus food and coffee vans for anyone settling in for the morning. Because it only runs once a month, the mix of stalls can vary noticeably from one Sunday to the next, depending on who has produce or stock ready that week.

Getting to Tabulam Oval

The oval sits on Clarence Street in the heart of the village, close to the Clarence River itself, in a part of the NSW Northern Rivers better known for river tourism such as kayaking and fishing than for retail. Tabulam straddles two local government areas: Kyogle Council manages the main village where the market sets up, while Tenterfield Shire covers the section of town west of the river. Council itself has used the market as an outreach point in the past, running an information stall there in 2023 to explain the area's new three-bin recycling system to residents passing through.

No entry fee has been confirmed for the market, so it's worth checking the Tabulam Community Markets Facebook page before visiting, especially given how small and locally run the event is. For a market this size, arriving close to the 9am start gives the best chance of catching whatever produce or stock stallholders have brought along that particular week.
