Courthouse Markets
A weekend market on the lawn of the old courthouse, selling Indigenous art, pearl jewellery, handicrafts and tropical fruit smoothies in a relaxed atmosphere.
The market is held under large trees beside the old courthouse, which was converted from a colonial-era telegraph station, and opens on weekend mornings. Stalls offer Indigenous paintings, shell and pearl jewellery, Broome tie-dye clothing, handmade soap, Asian snacks and mango smoothies. Live music is often played, making it a nice place to stroll after breakfast. It is about a five-minute walk from Chinatown.
Opening hours
Saturdays (plus Sundays in dry season) approx. 08:00–13:00
