Step through the grand old gates of Fremantle Markets and you'll be swept into a glorious, chaotic tangle of history, hustle and handmade goods. Operating since 1897, this iconic market is a magnet for both wide-eyed tourists shopping for souvenirs and boho jewellery and savvy locals stocking up on farm-fresh produce and vintage finds.
It's a feast for all five senses: there's the savoury scent of burek wafting through the hall, the shout of stallholders spruiking their wares and buskers just outside entertaining the masses.
It's never not busy, but that's all part of the charm. Elbowing your way through the hungry punters to nab a croissant bahn mi from Viet Kiets while dodging a kid covered in face paint is practically a rite of passage for Freo locals.

Saturday Markets
Perth City Farm

Escape the concrete jungle and step into Perth City Farm’s leafy Saturday sanctuary. This laid-back market brings the best in organic and spray-free fruit and veg to the city, along with loads of other tasty goods to fill your tummies and pantry. We’re talking fresh-baked bread, wild-caught seafood, local honey and even homemade bathroom goods.
Earlier this year, a café that’s as conscious as the market itself opened, with Be Free officially planting roots within the big, bright space. I like to grab a coffee in the market, fill my basket with plenty of fruit, vegetables, eggs and the best olive oil you can find outside of the Mediterranean, and then sit down at Be Free for brunch with my bounty. It's a dreamy way to spend a Saturday morning, and you sure do feel smug shopping sustainably and eating seasonally.

Subi Farmers Market
Subiaco Primary School, 271 Bagot Rd, Subiaco WA 6008
I could be showing my age here, but it was a dark, dark day when Subi's Station Street markets closed in 2015 after 30 years of trade. Thankfully, Subi Farmers Market was there to fill the organic-shaped hole in our hearts, and it's doing a damn fine job. Every Saturday morning, the grounds of Subiaco Primary School come alive with stallholders slinging fresh local produce, gourmet bites, coffee, flowers and canine‑approved treats for your furry shopping assistant.
Having first launched in 2009, this sunny market is all about community. With a bag full of fruit and baked treats, you'll find yourself striking up a conversation with a stallholder, patting a stranger's dog, and bopping along to the buskers with other admirers. It's wholesome Saturday morning magic right in the heart of Subi.

Sunday Markets
Perth Upmarket
UWA, 35 Stirling Hwy, Crawley WA 6009
It might only roll around four times a year, but Perth Upmarket is well worth the wait. Held inside the grand, cathedral-like Winthrop Hall at UWA (seriously, it’s worth going just to ogle the ceilings), this elegant affair brings together over 180 of WA’s best designers, makers, artists and foodies for a shopping experience that feels more boutique than backyard.
There’s everything from handcrafted jewellery and minimalist ceramics to slow fashion, homewares, gourmet condiments and artisan chocolate that’s almost too pretty to eat (almost). It’s my go-to for gift shopping, with enough stalls to knock out birthdays, baby showers and Christmas in one swoop. I usually aim for the November edition, so there's less time to ‘accidentally’ keep everyone’s Chrissy gifts for myself.
When: The final Upmarket of the year is Sunday 16 November, from 10am to 4pm
