We love supporting local markets, and less than 20 minutes from Bloomfield is a special one. Held on the first Sunday of every month, the Longwarry Fire Brigade Market is a quaint, regional market with a lovely country-town atmosphere. Hosting up to 200 stalls, the market features delicious food vendors (including that important morning brew!), homeware items, plants, gifts, fresh locally grown produce, and so much more. With a playground for the kids just around the corner, and money raised contributing to the CFA, this is a great spot to kick off the weekend.
