Capital Region Farmers Market’s new location (for this weekend only)

Posted on 11 December, 2025

This coming Saturday 13 December 2025, Capital Region Farmers Market will relocate for their ‘Away Game’ due to the Spilt Milk Festival taking over at EPIC.

The Market’s Away Game’ will be held at GIO Stadium in Bruce, and will feature all the stallholder favourites, fresh produce, festive goods and family fun.

“There’s no use crying over Spilt Milk, instead we’re relocating our farmers, growers, producers and makers over to GIO Stadium for our Away Game,” says Capital Region Farmers Market Manager, Sarah Power.

“This is a big undertaking for the Market, and our producers really need the Canberra community’s support now more than ever, as selling their summer produce at this time is critical. Our farmers and growers in particular have been working tirelessly on their summer harvest and can’t wait to share the bounty with our loyal Market shoppers who we hope will make the move out to GIO Stadium with us for this one weekend of the year.”

Away Game will welcome a huge range of Market farmers, producers, makers and all their best and freshest produce to the stadium, and organisers are confident the Market will really showcase the best summer produce and festive foods.

“We’re just at the start of summer now and already our growers have fresh, tasty cherries, stone fruit including peaches, apricots, and nectarines, summer salads and farm-fresh veggies,” says Sarah.

“Plus, we’ll have all the festive foods and Christmas fun including fresh Christmas trees, seasonal smallgoods, fresh seafood and Christmas treats including puddings, mince tarts and more.”

As a treat for those who visit GIO Stadium for Away Game, the Market will be awarding two lucky winners with door prizes of $500 vouchers to spend at the Market so all their festive food needs will be taken care of this year. The day will also feature live music by the Newbery Brass Band and regular busker Winnie Weir, plus face painting fun for the kids.

The Market will return to its regular location at EPIC on the following Saturday 20 December, with the last market for 2025 a special Christmas Eve Market at EPIC on Wednesday 24 December, 7–11.30 am.

It might be a change up to your usual routine but it’s well worth it – and it means you won’t need to be anywhere near EPIC when Spilt Milk spills into Canberra. Win/win.
