Crows Nest Markets
A first-Sunday village market at the Crows Nest Community Hub, brought back in 2022 by the town's own progress association.
About this market
The Crows Nest Markets came back from a hiatus in August 2022, and the announcement on the town association's own site was not written by a marketing department: the monthly Crows Nest Markets are back, with four exclamation marks after it. They now run the first Sunday of every month at the Crows Nest Community Hub, 14 Toowoomba Road, from 8.30am, in a village on the New England Highway north of Toowoomba.
A market the town runs itself
Crows Nest has no commercial market operator behind its market. The listing lives on crowsnest.qld.au, the town's community site, and stall enquiries go to an email address at the same domain, [email protected], or to a mobile number. That is the shape of a market run by the same volunteers who maintain the town's events calendar. The market's own social account describes it in one line as a monthly market on the first Sunday of every month in the friendly village of Crows Nest, from 8.30am at the Community Hub.
Market at a glance
If you have searched for this market before, you may have been sent to the wrong side of town.
Two Crows Nest addresses circulate online, both on Toowoomba Road. The market's own channels give the Community Hub at number 14, while several event directories still carry Centenary Park at number 37, along with a different set of hours. The park listings are the older ones, so follow the community association's address rather than the directory that ranks highest.
What to know before the drive up
Crows Nest is a highway village, and the market is a village market: one Sunday morning in four, in the middle of town, rather than a regional event with a program. Start times published for it differ by half an hour, and only one source names a finish, so plan on arriving between 8.30am and mid-morning and do not count on the stalls still being up in the early afternoon. The Community Hub is on Toowoomba Road, which is the main road through town, so parking is street parking and the rest of the town centre is within a short walk. Bring cash. If you want to book a site, the treasurer's email on the town's own site is the contact that gets answered.
