Shire Clerk’s Cottage Markets
Eat, shop, and be merry!
Sprawling across the Leisure Centre’s grounds and into the main building, our Cottage markets feature creations by local artisans (including those made in our activity groups), bric-a-brac, great food from our volunteer-run canteen, entertainment, local produce, tours of the Cottage, and our famous Devonshire Tea on the verandah!
Don’t Miss Our Famous Devonshire Tea!
Picture yourself sinking your teeth into our homemade scones topped with local jam and a dollop of cream as you relax on the cool verandah here at the heritage-listed Shire Clerk’s Cottage. Along with a requisite cup of tea, it’s the perfect way to lazily watch the world go by.
Don’t picture it. Come on down to our next Market day and enjoy it for real. We’ll see you soon.

Just like husbands, dogs are allowed provided they are on a leash.
Just kidding about the husbands.
Shopper FAQ
While we do have car parking behind the centre, it’s best to find street parking as the market stalls surround the road in and out.
We celebrate our local arts and crafts, but with 70 stalls on average, there can be fresh local fruit and vegetables for sale. It depends on who has decided to take a stall, however we don’t promote ourselves as a farmer’s market.

We’re here from 6am to ensure you have the best day possible.
