Welcome to your market

A Sunday tradition on the
North Shore since 2002.

We are your market for New Zealand made crafts, artisan, bric-a-brac and pre-loved items. We have been operating for over 20 years on the same site, with over 100 stalls. The site fees help raise valuable funds for Coastguard North Shore and other local community projects.

What we're about

Markets like they used to be.

We're a community-run, not-for-profit market providing a venue for locals to sell their unwanted items, handcrafted goods and seasonal produce — and a great place for visitors to browse, meander and find a bargain.

Every stall fee you pay supports Coastguard North Shore and other local community projects — helping save lives at sea and keep our bays thriving.

Shoppers browse stalls of handcrafted goods at Browns Bay Sunday Market.

A taste of the market

Browsing, bargains and a slow morning coffee — a little of what you can expect every week.

Open every Sunday

Rain or shine, 6am – 12pm.

Because we're in a carpark, we're able to trade whatever the weather — bring a coat if it's drizzly, but don't stay home.

Market closed

We are closed on 5th April (Easter Sunday), 27th December, 2026 and 3rd January, 2027. Because we are in a carpark, we are able to open rain or shine.
