Lovers of fine hand-crafted wares, clothing collectors, food fanatics and jewellery junkies are just a few of the people who head to Canberra’s award-winning Old Bus Depot Markets every Sunday. In a fabulous old industrial building you’ll experience the endless colour, tastes, sounds and atmosphere that is "Canberra’s Sunday Best”.
Not your average market, each week you’ll find over 200 stalls of exceptional quality, featuring items all hand-crafted by local and regional creatives. There’s simply no better way to spend your Sunday in Canberra.
Such a fun, easy place to spend a few hours. There’s a great mix of stalls selling handmade items, art, jewellery, plants, and quirky gifts.
The food stalls are a big highlight — lots of choice and plenty of tasty options. There was live music when we visited, which added to the relaxed vibe.
I wish I had bought the box of cannoli.

Consistently amazing little market. If not for shopping, worth coming for a yarn with super friendly stallholders. Plenty of regulars, plus few newbies. Good place to shop for unique, quirky souvenirs, crafty bits and tasty treats ( don't ask me what sake dacquoise is but it was delicious).

The Old Bus Depot Markets in Kingston are a beloved weekend staple. Every Sunday, they’re brimming with local crafts, gourmet foods, and unique finds. If you like handmade goods or local produce, they’re a must-visit. They’ve got that cozy, community buzz and are definitely a highlight in the area! Housed in a heritage-listed industrial building that originally served as the city's main transport depot. The market is known for its high-quality handcrafted wares, vintage finds, and diverse food stalls. Well worth a visit!!!

This is a great market held every Sunday from 9.30am until 2.30pm in a former bus depot. It has a wonderful range of stalls including food, arts and crafts and clothing.
We had a great time, I bought some wonderful items such as fresh cannolis, a new umbrella and some toys (that I don’t need but I am a big kid at heart 🤣). There was some live entertainment Including a great band. You could also get fresh fruit and vegetables and fresh baked bread. This is the second time I’ve been to these markets and have really enjoyed them each time. They are just a short stroll from the Dockside Foreshore and have plenty of parking 🅿️ and good toilet 🚻 facilities. They are also very wheelchair 🦼 accessible. Would definitely recommend. Thumbs up!! 👍👍
