The market's location next to the Wind Wand, one of New Plymouth's most photographed landmarks, makes it easy to combine your market visit with a stroll along the award-winning Coastal Walkway. Its central position in New Plymouth also means it's within walking distance of the city centre, making it accessible for both locals and tourists.

As a weather-dependent event, we recommend checking the forecast before visiting, especially during winter months. The market typically operates in most conditions, but extreme weather may cause cancellations.
