About this market
Nestled under the shady pines of Haig Park in Braddon, Haig Park Village Markets is a proudly women-led, community-minded gathering that runs every Sunday come rain or shine. Founded and led by Alexandra Webb and her Canberran team, the market has earned national recognition - including the 2024 Australian Tourism Awards Highly Commended and the 2025 Bluebell Sustainability Award for Sustainable Event - reflecting a genuine commitment to quality, inclusion, and low-impact practices. Each week more than 100 carefully curated stalls bring together regional producers, artisans, designers, ceramicists, fashion makers, bakers, and jewellers, creating a vibrant space where shoppers can meet the person behind the product. The market also actively supports performers, musicians, dance groups, and workshop facilitators with complimentary stall space, keeping the atmosphere lively and creative every week. Sustainability runs through everything here: plastic-free initiatives, reusable programs, and a nudge to arrive by bus, light rail, bike, or on foot all reflect the team's values. Families are well catered for with accessible pathways, pram-friendly open spaces, and regular family-friendly activations.
