Every Saturday the Boardmills Market offers a fantastic combination of handmade Tasmanian crafts and businesses, local artists and musicians, food, fun for the kids, fresh produce and more. Saturdays 0900 - 1400 at Killafaddy Road, just over Hobler's Bridge in Newstead. Situated a four-minute drive from the heart of Launceston's City Park, Boardmills Market is set on the 3.5 acre grounds of the Avalon Arts and Function Centre. The family focused market also features friendly chickens that the kids can feed or hug whilst overlooking Launceston's Tamar Valley. The landmark property, rich in history, is free to explore. Make sure you see the majestic endemic Tasmanian timbers that are housed in the architectural building. We have on-site parking for visitors and plenty of activities to entertain both adults and children alike. The market also has disability toilets.
