The New Brighton Farmers Market is now starting earlier – at 7am every Tuesday!
After strong community demand, the earlier opening means those heading off for an early start can still take the time to access fresh, locally-grown, nutritious food without the rush.
Set by the river, and just moments from the beach, this much-loved local market is the perfect way to ease into your morning. With around 35 stalls, it’s bursting with fresh, locally-grown produce including vegetables, fruit, flowers and olives, plus artisan bread, sourdough, flaky pastries and a dedicated gluten-free stall.
You’ll also find an incredible range of quality goods – meats, cheeses, eggs, mushrooms, honey and fresh seafood – alongside hemp oils, freshly-made pasta, sauces, ready-made meals, and seedlings to take home. It’s a true one-stop shop for your weekly essentials, all sourced from passionate local producers.
Breakfast is a highlight, with buttery pastries, French crêpes, great coffee, warming porridge, and fresh juices all on offer. A crowd favourite is Nomadic Kitchen, known for its rustic, share-style breakfasts that change weekly depending on what’s fresh and in season.
Beyond the food, the market has a welcoming, community feel. Live music from local musicians creates a relaxed atmosphere, while a dedicated kids’ area with craft activities keeps the little ones entertained.
The earlier start makes it easier than ever to drop in, stock up and still get on with your day – while supporting local growers and sustainable food choices.
After all, the early bird catches the worm.
New Brighton Farmers Market is open every Tuesday from 7am to 11am.
