This coming Saturday 13 December 2025, Capital Region Farmers Market will relocate for their ‘Away Game’ due to the Spilt Milk Festival taking over at EPIC.
The Market’s Away Game’ will be held at GIO Stadium in Bruce, and will feature all the stallholder favourites, fresh produce, festive goods and family fun.
“There’s no use crying over Spilt Milk, instead we’re relocating our farmers, growers, producers and makers over to GIO Stadium for our Away Game,” said Capital Region Farmers Market Manager, Sarah Power.
“This is a big undertaking for the Market, and our producers really need the Canberra community’s support now more than ever, as selling their summer produce at this time is critical.
“Our farmers and growers in particular have been working tirelessly on their summer harvest and can’t wait to share the bounty with our loyal Market shoppers who we hope will make the move out to GIO Stadium with us for this one weekend of the year.
“And we hope to also make some new friends with locals in the Bruce and Belconnen areas who may not have previously shopped at our Farmers Market,” Sarah continued.
Away Game will welcome a huge range of Market farmers, producers, makers and all their best and freshest produce to the stadium, and organisers are confident the Market will really showcase the best summer produce and festive foods.
“We’re just at the start of summer now and already our growers have fresh, tasty cherries, stone fruit including peaches, apricots, and nectarines, summer salads and farm-fresh veggies.
“Plus, we’ll have all the festive foods and Christmas fun including fresh Christmas trees, seasonal smallgoods, fresh seafood and Christmas treats including puddings, mince tarts and more,” Sarah continued.
As a treat for those who visit GIO Stadium for Away Game, the Market will be awarding two very lucky winners with door prizes of $500 vouchers to spend at Market so all their festive food needs will be taken care of this year. The day will also feature live music by the Newbery Brass Band and regular busker, Winnie Weir, plus face painting fun for the kids.
Capital Region Farmers Market’s Away Game will be held on Saturday 13th December at GIO Stadium in Bruce, 7.00am – 11.30am. There will be NO Market at EPIC this weekend.
The Market will return to its regular location at EPIC on the following Saturday 20th December, with the last Market for 2025 a special Christmas Eve Market at EPIC on Wednesday 24th December, 7.00am – 11.30am. For more information visit www.capitalregionfarmersmarket.com.au
