Situated just up the hill from Armadale's city centre and along Albany Highway sits
Bedfordale, a picturesque, semi-rural suburb home to around 2000 people. It's also home to a unique market where locals can showcase their products and wares, while visitors can enjoy food, drink, art, craft and more - all surrounded by nature.
The
Bedfordale Bush Markets take place on the second Saturday of the month from March to November, with the next market date set for Saturday, 11th March 2023 from 9am-1pm at the Bedfordale Hall. All markets will be held during this timeframe, with the exception of November's Twilight Christmas Markets from 3pm-7pm.

Each market features a different theme designed around seasonal and topical issues such as environment, or important events during the year, such as Easter, Christmas in July and Halloween.
Just some market highlights include stalls featuring homegrown fresh produce, wine, homewares, clothing and toys, alongside arts and craft, nature play and plenty of food and drink options for an easy lunch.
