Must-visit Ipswich markets

Springfield Markets at Robelle Domain

Held on the first Friday of each month, the Springfield Markets at Robelle Domain is the perfect way to wind down with the family after a busy week. Located next to the Lagoon, Robelle Domain is transformed into a lively spot, bustling with food stalls, arts and craft stalls, live entertainment and loads of space to wander and enjoy.

The operators of Springfield Markets have launched a new monthly market at Ripley. Ripley Markets  are held on the second Saturday of every month from 3pm-8pm.

Peak Organics at Ivorys Rock

Your mouth will water when you see the amazing fresh organic produce at Peak Organics. Follow their Facebook page for weekly updates on the produce they have on offer; you won’t get the same variety in a supermarket, nor anything as fresh and tasty! Take Rosellas for example. If you’ve been searching high and low for the fruit of this Queensland jam plant to make your Grandma’s famous rosella jam, Peak Organics is where you’ll find them, in season around April. Herbal teas and a few grocery lines are also on offer.

9 am to 2 pm every Saturday
310 Mount Flinders Road, Peak Crossing.

The Handmade Expo Market

There’s something extra special about buying something that is handmade – perhaps it’s the uniqueness, or the love and care put into the item or perhaps, the fact that you are supporting a small business and passionate maker.
Creativity and uniqueness abound at the The Handmade Expo markets, Ipswich. If you have gifts to buy, why not avoid the shopping centres and see what you can find here. Follow The Handmade Expo Facebook page to stay up to date with expo dates.
