Support More WA Retailers Than Ever Before

At the heart of Perth Upmarket is a commitment to supporting WA creatives, designers, and makers. This September, visitors will have the chance to meet more than twenty brand new retailers who have never showcased at Perth Upmarket before, alongside long-time favourites who have been part of the event for over a decade.
The market offers an incredible variety of products, including handcrafted jewellery, unique homewares, locally designed fashion, original art and prints, and artisan skincare and candles. Every purchase supports a local business directly, helping them grow and continue doing what they do best.
To make the event more accessible for those just starting out, Perth Upmarket offers a discounted rate for emerging small businesses, giving them the opportunity to take their first steps into the market scene.
First-time retailers also receive a welcome pack filled with helpful tips and guidance, ensuring they have the support they need for a successful debut. This approach not only nurtures new talent but also ensures visitors enjoy a vibrant mix of fresh ideas and well-loved favourites at every market.

The expansion means more food stalls than ever before, with a strong focus on catering to a wide range of dietary needs so everyone can enjoy the experience.
Visitors will find options that are halal, gluten free, nut free, dairy free, vegan, and vegetarian, ensuring no one misses out on the market’s vibrant food culture.
The selection celebrates the diversity of cuisines from around the world, bringing together authentic flavours, creative twists, and treasured traditions.
We love seeing new businesses join the market with their own unique recipes, adding fresh ideas, bold tastes, and cultural stories to the Perth Upmarket food experience. Come hungry — with so much variety, you’ll be tempted to try more than one dish.

This September, Perth Upmarket will feature even more green space, picnic areas, and extra seating, making it easier than ever to turn your visit into a relaxed and memorable day out.
Families can enjoy a leisurely stroll through the stalls before finding the perfect spot to spread out a picnic rug under the trees, while friends can settle into the expanded seating areas to share a meal and take in the atmosphere. The venue offers plenty of free parking and is pet-friendly, so you can bring your four-legged companions along to enjoy the day too.
With the warmer spring weather, the grounds around UWA’s Winthrop Hall become the ideal setting to enjoy fresh market food, soak up the sunshine, and take a break between browsing. Throughout the day, the air will be filled with live music performed by talented local musicians across multiple locations, adding to the vibrant, laid-back feel.
Supporting these performers helps them reach new audiences, and their music creates the perfect soundtrack for shopping, dining, and relaxing. Whether you’re visiting for a couple of hours or staying the whole day, the combination of great food, entertainment, and open space makes Perth Upmarket a true destination for all ages.
