Warwick Farmers Market

The Warwick Farmers and Makers Market runs every Saturday from 7am to 12pm in Queens Park on Alice Street. The market's own website lists handmade crafts, furniture, gifts, plants and organic produce, so it works as both a place to shop for fresh vegetables and a place to browse local makers.

A Saturday habit beside the river

Queens Park is a major recreation area beside the Condamine River, and the market uses it as a weekly gathering point. Stallholders post about their Saturday sites on the market's Facebook page, including one market gardener selling organically grown local vegetables every Saturday morning at Queens Park. Vendors can apply for a site through an online form on the market's website.

Warwick is a long-established town: land sales were held in 1850, and the first allotment was bought by Leslie. It lies about 130 kilometres south-west of Brisbane at 477 metres above sea level. The Southern railway line reached Warwick in 1871, and the town counts many heritage-listed buildings on the Queensland Heritage Register. The 2021 census counted 12,294 residents. The Jumpers and Jazz in July festival is another annual fixture, while October is when the Rose Festival and the Rodeo both take place.

Good to know before you go

Stall fees are published on the market's website: $15 for a 3x3 metre site, and $5 for each additional 3x3 metre space. That makes it an accessible option for small producers and makers testing a regular Saturday spot, and the online application form means you can apply without turning up on the day.

The market runs on Saturdays only, from 7am to 12pm. Queens Park sits along the Condamine River, which Wikipedia notes floods from time to time, so it is worth checking the market's Facebook page or website for updates after heavy rain.
