Practical details
Why it's worth checking out
Homegrown Markets Newcastle is part of a Hunter-wide market community created to connect local makers and creatives with the people around them. Its organisers, Lauren and Lewis, say the platform is designed to make shopping locally and supporting small business easier, with events that showcase the work of local creatives.
The market programme covers several locations across the region. The website lists The Station in Newcastle among its venues, alongside events at Nelson Bay Foreshore, Speers Point Park, Harold Gregson Park in Maitland and Lambton Park. The programme includes a range of market settings rather than one permanent venue, so the location and event details are worth checking before you go.
Homegrown’s focus is on creating a positive, welcoming community space, and the organisers specifically describe their events as family friendly. That makes the markets suitable for families, groups or a relaxed solo visit, particularly for people keen to meet makers and support small businesses. The team also advises checking its social media before attending, as weather can lead to changes or cancellations.
