Tamborine Mountain Country Markets — Local services in Tamborine Mountain

14/4/23. The country markets are held in the showground on the 2nd Sunday of the month. Compared to other showgrounds sizes this one is only tiny looks like a big oval. Getting close car congestion is a problem. There is limited parking on the site and plenty of parking along the main road if you are prepared to walk. What fantastic markets. Everything we saw was hand or home made no mass produced Asian products here. A great selection of stands selling doggy products, honey, plants, jewellery, pottery, jams and chutneys, oils and balsamic vinegars, sweets, nuts, clothing and food stalls that’s what I can remember. In the gazebo stage there is a singer performing where you can sit and enjoy while having a break. What I really like was able to try all and I mean all the homemade products for sale. Nothing worse than buying something without trying it and finding out you don’t like it. So like this we spent a small fortune on nuts, honey, relishes. (Pics show some of what we purchased, we ate the rest) Oh but boy are they good. Also purchased a set of hand made red salt and pepper barrels made of rose mahogany $59 with ceramic grinders not plastic. This lady sold beautiful wooden products. There is a Green Shed where locally grown organic produce is sold but we walked there too late and there was almost nothing left. These markets are definitely worth a visit and really shouldn’t be missed....

We had a wonderful time enjoying the market. The cool mountain breeze lifted the heat from the stifling day, and some vendors even had fans to keep us cool. We are visiting from NZ so could not buy from the many plant stores, but we did from almost everybody else. The quality of art, craftsmanship, and food products is as good, or better than, any other market I have been to, anywhere in the world. There were many different accents and nationalities and the true community spirit that small-town Australia is know for, was refreshing to see. If you are on holiday in the Gold Coast or surrounds, make sure you come to this market for...

LOVED these markets. Full of original, homemade, recycled, fresh, creative, artistic stuff. There's potted green herbs including rocket and other salad greens and a stall with plants/trees/shrubs. Oh and baked goodies. A must visit leading up to Xmas for unique pressies and not too expensive. Great location, good range of food truck choices and live music. Friendly stallholders (I chatted with a few). Park your car in the centre of the showground (gold coin donation to local charity). Visit the Pavillion both upstairs and downstairs. Just enjoy the vibe! I'll...
