Become a new Casual stallholder

What is a casual stallholder?

Casual stallholders are an important part of our market and this arrangement suits many of our local artists, producers and artisans, as it allows them to trade at the market without being locked into regular Saturday trading.

Casual stallholders can nominate the Saturdays they would like to trade, but are not always guaranteed a site on their nominated dates, and must trade at least once a month to maintain their place in the pool.

What are the site fees?

Please note that all casual stallholders are required to pay a site fee*, marketing levy and insurance fee. Other fees may be included depending on the stall operation, such as for electricity installation and usage, gas and electrical audits and table hire.  All fees are updated annually and stallholders should expect an increase annually.

To see the various weekly stallholder costs, please visit our page which has information on all of our stall fees and pricing.

*The site fee amount depends on the stall category and is listed in the City of Hobart Fees and Charges booklet, updated periodically. 

Register your interest

Every two years, the City of Hobart invites applications for casual stallholders. Once approved, casual stallholders enter into a short-term (up to two years) agreement.

Applications to become a casual stallholder are currently closed and will open in early 2026 for the next intake.
