Gasworks Mother's Day Markets

Overview

When The Market Folk first brought a heap of stalls to Newstead's old gasometer a couple of years back, it was clearly a smart move. Browsing and buying beneath one of inner-city Brisbane's most striking sights — what's not to love?

Because some ideas are too great to stop, this winning combination has kept returning, including with a pre-Mother's Day event in 2024. From 5–9pm on Friday, May 3, you can spend the evening in Newstead shopping for fashion, art, homewares, plants, pots and ceramics for your mum.

As they always do, the Gasworks Markets will feature plenty of artisanal goodies to tempt your wallet (not that anyone should need any motivation to spoil the woman who brought you into this world). As always, Brisbane creatives will be in the spotlight, so you'll also be showing them some love as well.

And, there'll be live music on the lawn, soundtracking your shopping. Plus, bringing your pooch is 100-percent encouraged.
