Broome Courthouse Markets
8 Hamersley St., Broome, Western Australia, 6725
This market on the Heritage-listed gardens of the old Broome Courthouse brings together an exciting array of local vendors, including designers, jewelry makers, and food stalls serving everything from freshly brewed coffee and local mangoes to international cuisine. Live music provides a soundtrack to the shopping.
The basics
If you’re in Broome over a weekend, you won’t want to miss a morning at the Broome Courthouse Markets. While shopping is the main attraction, the market also features live music, arts and crafts activities, and booths from preservation groups where visitors can learn more about (and observe) koalas and kangaroos. If you’re in Broome on a weekday, you can visit the Broome Courthouse as part of a self-guided audio tour.
