Best Markets on the Central Coast: Farmers Markets, Food Markets and Artisan Fairs Guide

The Central Coast's markets serve a population of 340,000 with a well-developed weekend market calendar, with the Saturday Gosford Farmers Market and the Sunday markets at Terrigal and The Entrance providing the main weekly market anchors, and the Hunter Valley and the Hawkesbury region's producers providing the fresh produce supply that flows through the Central Coast market network.

Central Coast Farmers Market — the Central Coast Farmers Market (Saturday 7am to noon, Gosford Showground precinct, free entry) is the region's most established farmers market, with Hunter, Central Coast, and Hawkesbury producers selling direct-from-farm seasonal vegetables, fruit, eggs, artisan cheese, bread, and specialty food.

Terrigal Markets — the Terrigal Markets (Sunday 9am to 2pm, Terrigal Esplanade, free entry) are the Central Coast's most popular coastal market, with artisan crafts, jewellery, clothing, and food in the popular Terrigal beach village. The beachside setting on the Terrigal Haven foreshore makes this one of the NSW coast's most pleasant market locations.

The Entrance Markets — the Entrance Markets (Saturday and Sunday, Memorial Park The Entrance, free entry) are the Tuggerah Lakes' most popular community market, with the lakeside setting on Tuggerah Lake providing an attractive backdrop for artisan goods, produce, and food stalls in the established market town of The Entrance.

Wyong Farmers Market — the Wyong Farmers Market (Saturday, Wyong area, free entry) provides the northern Central Coast with direct-from-farm produce from the Wyong and Hunter Valley hinterland, including citrus, stone fruit, vegetables, eggs, and specialty food products.
