Springfield Markets are a highlight on the Ipswich calendar, running on the first Friday of every month at Robelle Domain, Springfield Central. This colourful market has a happy, laid back vibe with live entertainment, food trucks and an eclectic range of stalls offering everything from jewellery and children’s clothing to homewares and works of art. 3.00 pm – 8.00 pm on the first Friday of every month at Robelle Domain, Springfield Central. Markets on Main run in the main street at Orion Springfield Central on the third Sunday of every month from 9.00 am – 4.00 pm. For organic produce, it would be hard to find any fresher than what is sold at Peak Organics on Saturday mornings, from 9.00 am – 2.00 pm. You’ll find this produce market, with a variety of fruits and vegetables grown on-site, at 310 Mount Flinders Road, Peak Crossing. The Handmade Expo Market runs from 8.00 am – 1.00 pm on the third Saturday of every month at Ipswich Turf Club, Bundamba. You’ll find lots of handmade children’s clothing, jewellery and sweet treats as well as some fresh produce and delicious condiments in jars. Keep an eye out for the Queensland Pioneer Steam Railway services departing across the road from the Racecourse Station that often coincide with these market days. Ripley Markets happen on the second Saturday afternoon of every month and sport a relaxed vibe – complete with deckchairs on the lawn. They run from 3.00 pm – 8.00 pm.

Rosewood Markets is a fantastic excuse to take a road trip to this country town. The market is held on the third Saturday of every month at St Luke’s Anglican Church in leafy John Street, from 7.30 am – 12.00 pm. Ipswich Showplace Markets are a classic old-school market where you’ll find a bit of everything – including fresh produce and second hand treasures. They run every Sunday in the Ipswich Showgrounds from 6.00 am – 11.30 am. Urbane Markets , similar to Brisbane’s Eat Street Markets, is a foodies dream.
