History of the Hartley Hall Markets
The Hartley Hall Markets stand as one of Australia’s longest running and largest home-made and home grown goods markets, now in it’s 37th year. The markets have a rural theme and are held at the picturesque Hall Village Showground, just ten kilometres north of Canberra.
The markets have grown dramatically since 1987 with just 36 stalls and a 20-cent entry fee, with some of the original stallholders still going strong. Since the first gathering many thousands of people have made visiting the Hartley Hall Markets a family tradition.
A friendly atmosphere and great bargains to be found, the Hartley Hall Markets offer the best of fresh produce, baked goods, plants, furniture, clothing, pottery, jewellery, children’s toys, crafts, unique gifts, and much more. Barbeques, canteens, live music and other entertainment makes each visit a fun, family day out. Entry is by a gold coin donation with all proceeds supporting Hartley Lifecare’s disability programs and services.
The Hartley Hall Markets thrive thanks to the core group of dedicated volunteers. Their commitment ranges from 3 months to 37 years, tirelessly helping setup various elements such carparking, up to 300 stands, parking equipment and signage, plus the famous Hartley BBQ.
