2026 / 27 Season
Seven Sundays
Free to attend. Tickets are for our counting, not your wallet — they tell us how many to cater for and how much parking to flag.
Tickets are issued through Humanitix, an Australian not-for-profit that puts its booking profits into education programmes. Free events cost nothing to ticket — so the counting is free, and the profits do some good.
Keep it local. Keep it Tassie.
Who's trading
Every stall you see is 100% Tasmanian-owned. We built this expo to give local micro-businesses, makers, and independent creators the spotlight they deserve - offering unique, locally crafted pet goods you simply won’t find on big-box retail shelves.
The line-up is being confirmed
Stallholders for the next market are being confirmed now. We publish the line-up here once everyone is locked in — check back, or subscribe to the Hobart Hound and we'll send it to you.
