Don Market, is one of the oldest markets on the northwest coast of Tasmania and has been operating for over 48 years. A dynamic, ever evolving market boasts both indoor and outdoor stalls(weather permitting). A great range of stalls - from fresh fruit and vegetables, to plant stalls, regular craft and makers products, new handbags, bric-a-brac and so much more and a sit-down or takeaway cafe in the back of the hall. We have regular weekly stallholders and also transient stalls which come alternate weeks or even just drop in once or just now and then. This adds to the interest and the market is usually not the same two weeks in a row. The hall itself shares some historical values maintaining its old fashioned façade and noticeboards of years gone by, and from the Don Memorial Hall where the market is held, you can look across the road to the Don River and the popular Don Railway.
