Ay-Up Market 2025 is taking place from Friday 28 March - Sunday 30 March 2025 - get the date in your diary and we'll see you there!

The Ay-Up Market is a great opportunity to discover new and unique items, support local businesses, and immerse yourself in the vibrant atmosphere of the city. Over 90 independent stallholders will be taking part, offering a variety of products such as freshly baked goods, sweet treats, fine wine and liquors, vintage clothing, plants, skincare, homeware, arts and crafts, handmade jewellery and pet accessories.

The event is not just about shopping, though. There will be an exciting program of live music from the main stage.

The Ay-Up Market is a family-friendly event with plenty of activities to keep everyone entertained. You can enjoy traditional hook-a-duck, free face painting, balloon modelling, and craft workshops.

When it comes to food and drink, there will be something for everyone - cuisine from around the world as well as tasty treats. For those who prefer something a little stronger, Blue Monkey Brewery will be serving their award-winning beers, spirits, and other refreshments.

Whether you're looking to treat yourself, buy gifts for friends and family, or simply enjoy a free, fun day out, the Ay-Up Market is worth checking out!
