My favourite market in Tassie, bar none. It's that mix of old-timey, country charm the town itself has and being able to buy really cool old things or fruit and veg without feeling you've been taken for a rube (hello Salamanca market). Seriously, my dad is Spanish and very stereotypical in his need to loudly verbalise his violent rejection of someone's pricing structure, but even he walked away with arms full of produce. I broke my bartering cherry and got a great price on an ancient Sunbeam Mixmaster from an old lady with a blue-rinse. I'm pretty sure it was a pity barter, but still, there are bargains to be had. If you're in the market for one of those rugged, custom made, Tassie wood dining tables that are popular with the newly arrived mainlanders, skip Gumtree and come here. Garry Lethborg is like Jesus but minus the whole messiah thing and double the carpenter part. Like Jesus, he's also very charitable and won't demand a sizeable sum and your firstborn as payment for one of his masterpieces. The moral of my now sacreligious story is that Evandale is worth the trip from Hobart and I'm clearly a tightwad. read more

Evandale Market - Grocery Near Me - Evandale, TAS

Definitely an eclectic mix of wares are available in this well sized and positioned market in the pretty historical township of Evandale. Set in a permanent location on the far edge of town, with ample parking for only $1.50, you'll find plenty of goods to occupy your attention, particularly if you are at all sentimental. There is an heavy emphasis on antiques and second-hand goods, with some bargains to be had. Take a trip down memory lane, particularly in the hall, where a permanent collection of stalls selling 2nd hand goods in well preserved conditions awaits you. There are also a fair few stall holders selling goods from third world countries to raise funds for various charities. If you like your Country Women's Association style cake stalls and hand-knitted goods, you'll *love* it here. I got an hand-made beanie, that matches my winter coat perfectly, for $10. I love a chat and all the stall holders are happy to engage in conversation. They're not merely greedy for your money. Just a note: there's only one coffee vendor and she's situated just inside the doorway of the hall. So make a beeline for there, get your coffee and then enjoy your browse and stroll. Recommended highlights: Manu bakery, Turkish Gozleme and anything home made or home grown. Market closes at 2pm. read more
