What makes it 76% Kids-Friendly: Children find a jumping castle, face painting and a nearby playground, while parents access free BBQs; watch for crowding and bring cash because most kid activities charge per turn.
Why 2-3 hours visit duration is ideal for with kids: This gives time to browse stalls, enjoy kids’ activities and have a riverside picnic without rushing.
Jumping Castle:
Kids can jump in a supervised inflatable for a $4 session each.
Tip: Go early for shorter lines and bring socks for your children.
Face Painting:
Fun designs from $5 per child at a dedicated stall.
Tip: Choose simple designs to save time and hold still for faster painting.
Children’s Playground:
Free swings and slides beside the market grounds.
Tip: Visit between stall browsing to let kids burn off energy.
Slush Puppies & Ice Cream:
Cool treats from $3–$6 to beat the heat.
Tip: Buy these between 9–10 AM when vendors have fresh supplies.
Riverside Picnic & BBQ:
Free picnic tables and barbecues by Paynter River.
Tip: Pack a blanket and use market fruit and baked goods for snacks.

It's great to go, I just found as much as I want to support the farmers coming to this, the fruit and vegetable just did not last in any way. So unfortunately I won't be going again

Love my Sunday mornings here, covers everything from farmers market to delicious food and coffee to flea style markets, so many stalls with amazing clothes, hats, even plants and crystals. Love the local vibe here 🙌🏼

The market itself is great, fresh food and friendly stallholders. Unfortunately, the car park is like entering a Hunger Games arena, run by self-appointed traffic wardens in hi-vis. I know they’re volunteers, not paid staff, but wow… one in particular carried on like he’d rather be anywhere else.

Love coming here for breakfast and our weekly fruit and veg plus the pasties and banana bread 😋

Standard market setting, always a good range of stalls, BUT too many snappy dogs still....one dog is too many in public. Mud holes are still an issue, and grass was boggy after some rains... Do not how they will fix that. Generators are ok if quiet of course, but the power cables strewn over path, walk and access ways are totally irresponsible.
In summer (Dec–Feb), bring sunscreen, hats and water. In winter (Jun–Aug), pack a light jacket for cool mornings. Carry a small umbrella during wet season (Jan–Mar).
