Brighton Sunday Market

No parking anywhere. We parked behind a long line of cars on a side street, went into the market for an hour, came out and every car had a parking ticket on the windscreen. There's no reason to have no parking on Sunday 9-12 unless you are targeting market patrons. $93 fine for that, it's not like we were blocking a driveway. If you hold a community event, you do not target said community. Spent over a hundred dollars today but I will never be back, due to how the council treats market goers.

Edit; it's not your responsibility, however it IS a facet of attending your market. You do not provide anywhere near enough parking and as such, the ticket inspectors prowl the streets while the markets are on. Therefore it is a valid review.

The markets glory days are well and truly over but a small bargain could be found.

Some vegetables, some cooked foods, a small cafe shop, a few secondhand stall shops, and 1 good thing is no entry fee. If the park car outside,

As a regular market goer , I attended my last ever market at Brighton last year , after 21 years sadly I will never be returning. The decision to keep the market in the carpark, has drastically reduced the number of stores down to 85, when there were often 200 stalls and has reduced the variety of goods for sale. This used to be a very large second hand market with a large vatiety of clothing, books, household items, plants records cds and dvds etc, but now it is focused mainly on food. A large number of the reduced amount of stalls as can be seen by photos included on the website are food related.
It is no longer worth the time the money or the effort to be a buyeror seller. A full morning of browsing at used goods and talking to stall holders has now been reduced to about hour then everything is looked at.
This is a very sad end to what used to be a great morning of buying and selling. Last year the lions food truck left, many regular buyers and sellers are refusing to return , soon the only .market if this sort left in Adelaide will be the christies beach market, which has greatly improved in size and variety as people are finding some wher other than Brighton.
This is not having a go at the volunteers, they fo a great job in reduced circumstances with what they are know allowed to do, this is just an honest opinion to let people know, that if you are looking for a mornings entertainment , browsing through used goods at a market, this is no longer the place to go, and the reason the oval is closed to the market does not matter, I am talking about thesad and unnecessary decline and deterioration of the market. Don't waste your time, find somewhere else to go, or sell online , it is obvious that this school no longer requires the funds raised by the market. They have happily cut their profits in half at most markets.

Lots and lots of unhappy people today, they parked for hours and didn't get in, one poor couple came from Mount Barker at 4am. These stall holders and buyers who have been coming for years have funded the music students with big $$$ for their programs. At least give more notice that the ovals are unavailable 😠 if your using the back for cricket why can you open the front oval?

I had my SP stall at Brighton Sunday Market. The Brighton Sunday Market is a great place to have a stall and to spend your Sunday shopping-open-air and relaxed atmosphere.

This is a great Sunday event. Stall holder Proceeds going to support the school.
Lots of unique sellers, food, produce, antiques, tools, plants and surprisingly the coffee is quite good.
