About this market
Renegade Handmade Market has been championing the creative micro-businesses of Townsville and North Queensland since 2013, bringing together 50 to 120-plus stalls (depending on the venue) for an experience that's more than just a market. Every piece on display has been handcrafted locally - expect original arts and crafts, handmade jewellery, plants, and all manner of beautiful things made right here in the region. Venues are always undercover and easy to access, so you can browse comfortably no matter the weather, coffee from the on-site van in hand. Once a year the team goes all out with the Renegade Handmade Mega Market - self-described as North Queensland's favourite makers market - filling the largest air-conditioned venue available (Murray Stadium) for a bumper 3-day event that includes a VIP Friday night preview. Stallholder applications are curated; not all applicants are accepted, which keeps the quality high. Check the Facebook page for the latest dates as the regular market schedule and venue vary.
