The Market Shed on Holland
A converted mechanical workshop behind Gilbert Street IGA now hosts a rotating calendar of themed markets, from street food nights to pre-loved fashion pop-ups.
About this market
Behind Gilbert Street IGA in the Adelaide CBD, a former mechanical workshop was converted by the Kaitatzis family, who also own the supermarket, into an undercover shed for community markets. Rather than running one fixed weekly market, the venue now operates as an event space that hosts a changing lineup of themed markets throughout the year.
A shed that changes its market every time
The clearest proof the venue is still active is Reds in the Shed, a winter wine market that returned to the shed on 20 June 2026, ticketed through unlimited tastings and a take-home glass. It sits alongside Eats & Beats, a recurring street-food-and-DJ evening, and design, wine and vintage pop-ups through the rest of the year. Because the calendar changes from one date to the next rather than following a fixed weekly slot, the venue's own website and Humanitix listings are the only reliable way to know what's booked in for a given weekend.
Eats & Beats follows a consistent format each time it runs: stalls of multicultural street food and local drinks, a DJ set, and a $10 door charge, from 5pm to 10pm. The Monthly Vegan Market has run on a similar pattern, a free-entry Sunday session built around plant-based food and produce, drawn from the venue's history of themed, single-day events rather than one fixed weekly market.
Market at a glance
The shed's origin story is a family one: the Kaitatzis family, who run the neighbouring Gilbert Street IGA, took over the old mechanical workshop when it became vacant and converted it into an undercover event space with a concrete floor, potted plants and antique furniture rather than a typical marquee-and-carpark setup.
The Market Shed on Holland is a converted mechanical workshop. The Kaitatzis family, who own the Gilbert Street IGA next door, took over the space when it became vacant and turned it into the undercover venue markets use today.
Before you go
The Market Shed sits at 1 Holland Street in the Adelaide CBD, close to a tram stop, though parking around the venue is limited. Because it hosts a rotating set of markets rather than one weekly event, always check which market is on before visiting: Eats & Beats runs Saturday evenings with a $10 door charge, the Monthly Vegan Market is a free Sunday session, and Second Life Markets is a periodic ticketed fashion pop-up. The venue's own website lists the next confirmed date.
