Consider this your ultimate guide to the best markets in Broome.<\/h5>\n

From breakfast bao buns to boab tree necklaces, you\u2019re sure to find something delicious, something unique to the Kimberley, or perhaps even some rare vinyl records at these Broome markets.<\/p>\n

1. Courthouse Markets<\/h2>\n

Open:<\/b>\u00a0Every Saturday and Sunday in the dry season (May to October) from 8am to 1pm.<\/p>\n

Get up early if you want to catch the cool weather and brekkie at the Courthouse Markets<\/a>. Held every Saturday and Sunday, this welcoming market serves up a huge range of global foods, artisans and beautiful products.<\/p>\n

Start your day with a mango smoothie, a hot brew from the Kimberley Coffee Company, fresh doughnuts or plenty of Asian treats, before perusing the local honey, fresh papaya and local gubinge powder (a native fruit with a huge hit of vitamin C).<\/p>\n

Centrally located near the heart of town, the stalls are spread around the attractive old Courthouse, an elevated building with wide verandahs and grassy lawns that once served as Broome\u2019s courthouse and police station.<\/p>\n

Throw down the picnic rug and listen to the live music, or potter around the stalls with handmade crafts, boutique fashion, and necklaces incorporating pearls, sandalwood and Staircase to the Moon designs.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t miss the impressive collection of second-hand records and books by Spike the Bubble<\/a>.<\/p>\n

2. Town Beach Night Markets<\/h2>\n

Open:<\/b>\u00a0Every Thursday night (June to September) from 4pm to 8pm.<\/p>\n

Keep your Thursday night free for dinner<\/a>\u00a0at the buzzing, much-beloved night markets at Town Beach<\/a>. As the sun begins to set, the market comes alive with the smells of street food from around the world, twinkling lights and a breezy vibe, thanks to the great selection of local live music.<\/p>\n

If you can tear yourself away from the food stalls, there\u2019s Aboriginal artwork, handmade jewellery and beachy home decor to take home.<\/p>\n

3. Staircase to the Moon Night Markets<\/h2>\n

Open:<\/b>\u00a0Check the official calendar<\/a>\u00a0for exact dates. From 4pm to 8pm.<\/p>\n

When the full moon rises over Roebuck Bay its reflection ripples across the tidal flats creating a stunning \u2018staircase\u2019 illusion. When it does, between April and October, night markets magically pop up at Town Beach over one of the nights of the Staircase to the Moon.<\/p>\n

Bring your beach towel and camera and head down early to fill your tummy with all the food stall eats while you\u2019re waiting for that big old moon to rise.<\/p>\n

4. November Christmas Market<\/h2>\n

Open:<\/b>\u00a0Usually the last Sunday in November from 4pm to 8pm.<\/p>\n

Christmas in the tropics comes with benefits: sun, sea and a cocktail in hand.<\/p>\n

At the Broome Christmas night market\u00a0expect fashion, art, photography, homewares and of course, plenty of amazing global food and even a visit from the old man himself.<\/p>\n

Town Beach Reserve has loads of grassy picnic areas and is a lovely spot for a stroll as the sun sets and the ocean breeze rolls in, with live music humming in the background.<\/p>\n

5. Derby CWA Market\u00a0<\/b><\/h2>\n

Open:<\/b>\u00a0Every Saturday from 7am to 12pm.<\/p>\n

Just over a two-hour drive from Broome, Derby is the western gateway to the legendary Gibb River Road. But before you strike out on your 4WD adventure, pop by the Country Woman’s Association Markets on a Saturday and pick up an iced coffee, some mangos for the road and Bushy\u2019s Boab Seed Coffee.<\/p>\n

Go old school and take a break from Instagram by picking up some homemade postcards. \u00a0\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n
