Introducing Meandering Markets: A Quirky Wonderland of Local Treasures

🌿 Meandering Markets March 28th 9am-3pm

The Port has always marched to the beat of its own drum — eclectic, creative, a little gritty, and full of heart. And on the last Saturday of the month, that heartbeat spills out into the street at the Meandering Markets.

Set against the backdrop of the historic Port Admiral Hotel, these markets are a grassroots celebration of local makers, growers, curators and creators — winding through balconies, footpaths and corners of the Port that reward those who take the time to wander.

If you haven’t yet experienced the buzz, the banter, and the beauty of the Meandering Markets, February is your perfect excuse.

🌈 What to Expect

Think stalls bursting with handmade jewellery, art, vintage finds, small-batch produce and curious wares you didn’t know you were looking for. Picture relaxed family-friendly energy, a leafy little pop of green among the stalls, and the unmistakable smell of bacon, sourdough and good coffee drifting out from the pub kitchen.

On the day, you can:

  • Browse from over 30 unique stalls

  • Enjoy breakfast, bubbles, or a cheeky pub lunch

  • Soak up fresh coffee, Portside charm, and a proper wander
