Salamanca Market

This gracious tree-lined avenue dates to Hobart’s earliest days as a far flung British settlement. Named for the area in Spain where a famous battle was waged between the English and the French in 1812, the gracious Georgian buildings lining Salamanca Place were originally used for warehousing whale oil, grain, timber and imported goods. Today it is home to bars, cafes, galleries and a vibrant arts centre.

Salamanca Market operates every Saturday, rain, shine or hail. Even if it is raining heavily the market still goes ahead. It's often a lovely experience in the rain and our stallholders are always happy to see you. There is also always plenty of delicious hot street food to select from which always makes a rainy day delightful. The only time the market is ever closed is in extreme weather conditions - so gale force winds or conditions that are unsafe to be out in. If the market is cancelled for any reason, an alert will be published on this website and on the Salamanca Market Facebook page.

Yes and no. Salamanca Market has a strict no dogs policy and dogs are not allowed within the market due to safety reasons. However, the RSPCA provides a puppy parking service at the market each Saturday. We encourage you to bring your dog for a walk and leave your dog with the puppy parking team. This way your dog gets to enjoy an outing, can enjoy toys and treats, while you enjoy your day at the market. Guide dogs and assistance animals are welcome inside the market at any time.
