Meet me at the Markets
Maitland puts on an array of regular markets to please all shoppers.
The Slow Food Earth Market Maitland has also quickly become a favourite for many, operating at The Levee Shared Zone on the first and third Thursday of each month. The Slow Food Earth Market is the first of its kind in Australia, bringing quality local produce to the homes and families of its shoppers.
The Olive Tree Market often exhibits its vibrant and eclectic artist stalls at the Maitland Regional Art Gallery. Seasonally run, The Olive Tree Market is well worth a visit to make a day of, perusing the talented and creative products on offer and visiting the amazing gallery.
The Sunday Muster Artisan Markets held on the grounds at Mortels Sheepskin Factory in Thornton is offered seasonally. The Muster brings together designers, artists and crafts people who showcase handcrafted Australian made products.
In today's day and age, we often crave to get back to basics and purchase something simply made, with two talented hands. We are all wanting to be more sustainable and mindful consumers and Maitland's array of markets offers us just that.
