The Hartley Hall Markets, held on the first Sunday of every month (excluding January), are a lively and cherished event at the Hall Showground, drawing families, friends, and visitors from across the region. Set against the scenic country backdrop of Hall, these markets are a showcase of the best local artisans, growers, and creators have to offer. With rows of vibrant stalls, the markets are filled with handmade crafts, unique artwork, and vintage finds, making them a paradise for those seeking original treasures. You’ll find stalls featuring everything from hand-crafted jewellery and fashion to ceramics and homewares, each item telling its own story. The market is also a haven for food lovers, with fresh, locally-grown produce, artisan breads, cheeses, and sweet treats that make every visit a feast for the senses.
Beyond the shopping, the Hartley Hall Markets are a place to relax and soak up the community spirit. There’s often live music from local performers, adding to the welcoming atmosphere, while a wide variety of food stalls serve up hot coffee, gourmet delights, and snacks perfect for a morning out. It’s a popular destination for families, with kids’ activities and plenty of open space to explore. Dogs are also welcome, making it a true family-friendly event. Each month, visitors come not just to browse and buy, but to connect with local makers, enjoy the outdoors, and support small businesses in a setting that feels both festive and familiar. Whether you’re a local or just passing through, the Hartley Hall Markets offer a delightful way to spend a Sunday morning and experience the heart of the community.
