The Broome Courthouse & Market History
The Broome Courthouse Markets are held in the beautiful Heritage listed gardens of the Broome Courthouse. Started over 25 years ago by a small group of locals wishing to trade local product, they have grown to become a major tourist attraction in Broome and host up to 115 creative stalls over the Dry Season. Trading every Saturday all year and Sunday from April – October, the local markets attracts visitors from far and wide.
The Courthouse Markets are overseen by the Broome Community Stallholders Association and a voluntary committee comprised of regular stallholders and is not for profit. Stall fees are charged and funds raised are donated back into the local community. SAFE Broome, St John Ambulance, schools, local youth and Kimberley Performing Arts are just some of the community groups who have been assisted with funds from the Broome Community Stallholders Association.
