Best Markets in Perth: Farmers Markets, Food Markets and Artisan Fairs Guide

Perth's markets are anchored by the heritage Fremantle Markets (one of Australia's oldest continuously operating markets) and the weekend farmers markets at Subiaco and Mount Claremont, with the artisan markets at Claremont Showground and various South Perth locations providing strong weekend market culture for a city of Perth's size.

Fremantle Markets — the Fremantle Markets (Friday noon to 8pm; Saturday 9am to 8pm; Sunday 9am to 6pm; South Terrace Fremantle, free entry) are Western Australia's most famous market and one of Australia's oldest continuously operating markets, established 1897. The heritage buildings house 150+ stalls of fresh produce, artisan crafts, clothing, jewellery, and food in the Fremantle port precinct. The Saturday fresh produce section is excellent for WA-grown fruit and vegetables.

Subiaco Farmers Market — the Subiaco Farmers Market (Saturday 8am to noon, Subiaco Oval precinct, free entry) is Perth's finest farmers market, with WA growers selling direct-from-farm produce, artisan cheese, specialty olive oil, and prepared food. The market is smaller than eastern Australian equivalents but the WA produce quality is excellent.

Mount Claremont Farmers Market — the Mount Claremont Farmers Market (Saturday 7:30am to 11:30am, John XXIII College, free entry) is the western suburbs' finest farmers market, with certified organic produce, free-range eggs, artisan bread, and specialty food producers from the Swan Valley and Great Southern region.

Claremont Showground Markets — the Claremont Showground Markets (second Sunday of each month, Claremont Showground, free entry) are Perth's largest artisan and crafts market, with 300+ stalls of clothing, jewellery, art, homewares, and food in the showground grounds.
