Tuesday, Thursday or Friday gives you a weekday visit; Saturday and Sunday have longer afternoon trading. The regular daytime market is closed on Mondays and Wednesdays. Seasonal night markets are separate events: a Wednesday evening opening is not part of the normal weekly timetable.\n\nThe market is a useful starting point for a northern CBD day. Explore the food halls and produce stalls first, browse the specialty sheds, then continue towards the State Library or the city’s laneways.
