The Handmade Design Market Brisbane is a one-day market of independent makers at The Old Museum in Bowen Hills. The next one is on Sunday 11 April, from 10 am to 3 pm.
It is a shop-the-makers kind of day: you meet the people who made the art, homewares, jewellery and gifts, and hear the story behind each business. The organiser runs it as a “handmade and conscious shopping” market, and has held Brisbane markets at the same building before.

What is on
The market is made up of independent makers selling handmade goods. Past markets have had stalls selling art, homewares, jewellery and clothing, plus food and drink stalls. The organiser updates the stallholder list for each market, so look at their website for who is coming.
Getting there and parking
By car it is about 10 minutes from Brisbane CBD. There is no car park at The Old Museum for visitors, and the venue suggests arriving early if you are driving. Metered street parking is available along Gregory Terrace, King Street and the side streets, and the venue suggests the RNA and King Street parking stations. Check rates and opening on the day.
By public transport, Fortitude Valley railway station is about 600 metres from the venue along Brunswick Street, and bus stop 7 is directly outside The Old Museum. Plan your trip on the Translink website.
If you are driving, The Old Museum’s own advice is to come early, to allow enough time to travel and find a park. The venue’s visitor FAQs cover parking and transport.
Planning your visit
- How long: the market runs five hours; allow one to two hours to browse.
- What to bring: a reusable bag, comfortable shoes, and cash or card for the stalls.
- Getting in: pre-register through the organiser’s website before the day, so you are not working out tickets at the door.
- Best time: go early for the best choice of stock and for the easiest parking.
Details can change, so check the organiser’s website before you go.
