HOTA Markets

The HOTA Markets are held at HOTA (Home of the Arts) on Bundall Road at Bundall, on the central Gold Coast. A much-loved market at the city's vibrant arts-and-culture precinct, it's a lovely outing — bringing together local growers, makers, food stalls and fresh produce in the gorgeous parkland setting of HOTA, the kind of relaxed, community-minded market with a cultural backdrop.

The appeal is that combination of fresh produce, local makers and food stalls and a beautiful parkland-and-arts-precinct setting, ideal for browsing, grabbing breakfast or a coffee, picking up fresh produce or supporting local growers and makers, with HOTA's galleries and green space all around. Markets in such a lovely cultural setting have a wonderful atmosphere, and the HOTA Markets have clearly won over a devoted following.

With a 4.6 rating from more than 470 reviews, it's clearly a much-loved market. Markets typically run on set days, and the trading day, opening hours, stalls and any seasonal changes vary, so it's worth checking the current schedule before you go — particularly to confirm the market day and times — then enjoying the stalls, the food and the lovely HOTA setting at Bundall.
