Glebe Markets, Sydney: When do they open and what sort of stalls are there?

The Glebe Markets in Sydney are open between 10am and 4pm every Saturday. Stalls lean toward arts, craft and fashion, with most stallholders personally making what they sell.

The Glebe Markets in Sydney might not be quite as famous as the Rocks Markets, Paddington Markets or Bondi Markets. But venture just west of Sydney CBD on a Saturday, and you’re likely to find all manner of goodies.

When are Glebe Markets open?

The Glebe Markets are open every Saturday between 10am and 4pm. They take place on the grounds of Glebe Public School, at the corner of Derby Place and Glebe Point Road. From Central Station, it’s around a 20 minute walk.

The vibe of these Inner West markets is a little like the vibe of the Inner West itself. As with nearby suburbs Camperdown, Chippendale, Newtown and Erskineville, Glebe attracts the culturally switched-on and curious.

Glebe Markets stalls

The stalls at the Glebe Markets cover a wide range. Clothing, jewellery and accessories are well represented, and there’s an undeniable leaning towards vintage fashion across the market. What is fairly consistent is that the stallholders tend to make their own goods.

Go to the Glebe Markets website, and you’ll find a map of the stalls. A quick browse through will show there’s everything from bagmakers to candle specialists and antiques dealers. It’s the sort of place where you’ll find a handy birthday gift or Mother’s Day present.

There are more than 200 stalls in total.

Glebe Markets food and entertainment

There are also several food options, so you can make a day of a visit. Options include gnocchi, kebabs, crepes and Turkish gozleme. These can be washed down with fresh smoothies or sugar cane juice.

The Glebe Markets also offer live music. Rotating live acts play on the lawn between noon and 3pm every Saturday. Sometimes the stallholders join in.
