Everyone Loves a Trip to the Market!

Because everyone loves a market here’s a few of the variety in and around Auckland.

The Devonport Craft Market

This market is generally held on the first Sunday of the month with the next one being Sunday 2nd August.  It runs from 10am – 2pm at Devonport Community House, (map) just a hop, skip and a jump from the Devonport Ferry Terminal.

The market has over 30 stalls selling a wide range of wares, a lot which are handmade so it is the perfect place to find that unique gift, you will also find many ‘vintage’ items, something for everyone.

The City Farmers Market

This fabulous market operates right in the heart of the Britomart (map) precinct bringing a range of regional produce to the ‘cityfolk’ of Auckland!  Fresh, seasonal fruit, vegetables, eggs, meat, breads, olives….yumm!!  What also makes this market unique is that the vendors are only allowed to bring to market produce that they have grown, pickled, baked or farmed themselves within a defined local area, so its really supporting local businesses and gourmet delights!  The market operates year round every Saturday from 8.30am to 12.30pm.

Karangahape Road Street Market

This market on infamous ‘K Road’ is held every Saturday from 9.30am to 3.00pm.  Every week is different and if you are seeking something out of the ordinary, or one of a kind…this is your market!  An example of what you could find ranges from books, music, arts & crafts to handmade leather items, lingerie, Maori carvings, Pacific crafts and gothic clothing!  Why don’t you head along and find out what else is on offer!

Victoria Park Market

One of Auckland’s historic landmarks (that even boasts a New Zealand ‘Walk of Fame’) this market has a wide range of shops and stalls to browse and is open 7 days from 9am – 5pm.  You will find arts and crafts, designer clothing, footwear, souvenirs and jewellery.  There is also a foodcourt and range of bars onsite to keep you fed and watered!
