Beaufort Town Market - Winter Market

The Beaufort Town Market's Winter Market is a special seasonal edition of this long-running community institution, set in the picturesque Beaufort Memorial Rose Garden opposite the historic band rotunda. Organised by Pyrenees Community House, the market has been a cornerstone of the region for decades, bringing residents and visitors together around local craft, fresh produce, collectibles, and good company. The Winter Market (themed Christmas in July) runs as an atmospheric evening event from 5pm to 9pm - a twilight format that gives it a distinct, festive character quite different from the usual daytime sessions. Indoors at the Beaufort Shire Hall when conditions call for it, the market draws around 500-600 attendees, with stalls from local makers (at least 70% handmade product required), antique and collectible sellers, food vendors, and community groups running BBQ fundraisers.
