One of the Ipswich region’s biggest monthly markets happens on the third Sunday of every month at the sprawling resort-style shopping centre, Orion Springfield Central.

On average, more than 80 stalls fill the Main Street of the centre on market days, bringing a festive vibe and attracting crowds of up to 15,000. This market is dog-friendly and there is even an off-leash area linking into the centre grounds.

If you’re looking for unique toys or clothing for the kids, beautiful artisan homewares or gift ideas for all the family, this is the market for you.

These markets are a sibling to Springfield Markets held in Robelle Domain on the first Sunday morning of every month and Ripley Markets on the second Saturday of every month.

And when you’ve finished fossicking for treasure in the stalls of the market, there’s a whole shopping centre to explore or grab a bite for brunch!

Springfield Markets at Orion Shopping Centre runs from 9am to 4pm on the third Sunday of every month.
