The Village Market Burleigh Heads

The Village Market at Burleigh Heads is a bi-monthly pop-up artisan market held at Burleigh Heads State School every first and third Sunday of the month, from 8:30am to 1pm.

Playing host to over 100 incredible curated boutique market stalls in fashion, vintage treasures, art and lifestyle, the Village Markets is the go-to destination for good vibes of a Sunday morning on the Gold Coast. 

The Village Markets is more than just a market, it's a collaborative creative community of small businesses, and has been the launch pad for emerging creative entrepreneurs (including Peony Swimwear, Grace Bijoux, and Kivari). 

You can let your inner stylist and creativity run wild with Au Fait Living’s versatile range of rattan furniture, gorgeous homewares and lifestyle treasures.

For those seeking fabrics and designs to treasure, check out the bohemian stylings of Blonde Bohemian, bringing bohemia to Burleigh, with local designs handmade by Indonesian artisans.

Lovers of upcycled and preloved fashion will rejoice in rummaging through the vintage classics of Forgotten Modern.

Surfing folk will no doubt enjoy checking out the freelance surf photography and surf gear, clothing and products of The Surf Eye.

Stop in and say hi to Troy and Suzy (plus their dogs Busta and  Fonzy) who together make up  Catching Life Co…growers of unique plants that make people happy. 

You might even pick up one of their beautiful hand-painted pots.

Have you ever considered the perfect synchronicity of combining medicinal and therapeutic essential oils with handcrafted jewellery?  If not, then you need to visit Natasha at Adorn Aromatherapy Jewellery.

If you’re looking for organic essential oils for everyday life, come talk to the mother-daughter team of the family-run Urban Sun for advice.

If you still haven’t found what you’re looking for, Dani from EarthStar will enhance your daily self-care rituals with the art of aromatherapy! 

While you’re there, drop in on Jacinta from Sol & Solene, and have a chat about the path to non-toxic living.

Inspired by her love affair with the moon and its comfort and beauty, Leonie from Lunar Space offers you crystals and creations for your space, soul and self. 

Fellow plant nerds may like to chat to jeweller Jess of Coyote Stone about how she has incorporated flora into her unique designs.

If all that shopping, chatting and mind expansion, has tuckered you out, cruise to the eat street aisle for a pick me up.

Smoothjuice will serve you up a deliciously healthy Acai bowl, fresh juice or whole fruit smoothie to recharge you.

If you need a little more kick, pick up an Espresso from the adorably retro Wavy Bone food truck.

For those a little more puckish, Wiener haus has the sausage, loaded hotdog or vegan option for you.

If you have a hankering for Japanese street food, try Taiyaki octopus balls!  And next door Ibu Vegan will serve up the taste of Bali in a plate.  

If you’re at a loose end and up early on Sunday morning, head down to Burleigh’s Village market for a complete experience with a sense of community and good vibes to boot.
