About this market
Established in 2004, Talbot Farmers' Market is one of the earliest and most enduring farmers' markets in regional Victoria. Held on the third Sunday of every month, it transforms the charming historic precinct of Scandinavian Crescent and Camp Street into a lively street market drawing thousands of visitors to this tiny Goldfields township. The atmosphere is proudly community-based - stallholders line the heritage streetscape offering everything from certified organic produce and artisan cheeses to freshly baked sourdough, local honey, craft ciders, and hot gozleme. Surrounding the market, Talbot and the broader Pyrenees and Goldfields region offer local wineries, gold history, galleries, country pubs, and award-winning eateries - making it well worth a full day out. The market operates a minimal-waste ethos, encouraging biodegradable packaging and providing recycling stations throughout. Named seasonal markets add extra character across the year: Summer, Autumn, Winter, Spring, Dogtober (October), and Christmas.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is there parking at the market?
Ample street parking is available in the streets surrounding the market. A disabled drop-off point is located on the corner of Heales Street and Scandinavian Crescent, providing close access to both market areas.
Do I need cash?
Cash is available via cash-out at Talbot Post Office in Camp Street, which opens from 8 am on market days - an hour before the market itself.
Where are the toilets?
Toilets are located at Pioneer Park off Scandinavian Crescent (opposite the swimming pool) and at RSL Park off Heales Street, behind London House and the Community Centre.
Can I bring my dog?
Yes - dogs are welcome on a short lead. Please supervise them carefully around food stalls and children, clean up after them (waste bags are available at the TFM purple marquee), and consider your dog's comfort on busy or very hot days.
Should I bring my own bags?
Yes, please. The market encourages stallholders to use biodegradable or recyclable packaging, and recycling bins are positioned throughout the market. Bringing your own reusable bags supports the minimal-waste ethos.
How can I become a stallholder?
The market welcomes small-scale farmers and artisan food producers who grow or produce local food in Victoria. Download the stallholder application form from the website, complete and sign it, then submit via email. The committee assesses applications against criteria that discourage wasteful plastic and encourage minimal chemical use.
What do the raffle and donation proceeds fund?
Every dollar raised is reinvested into the market to cover equipment, toilet maintenance, coordinator fees, signage, power connections, insurance, and safety equipment.
