Devonport Market Returns to Windsor Reserve for Summer

Devonport Market Returns to Windsor Reserve for Summer

Devonport Market is back. From Saturday 10 October, Windsor Reserve will once again fill with stalls, makers and locals for the first of five markets running through summer and into early autumn.

If you've been before, you'll know the setting does half the work. If you haven't, this is a good season to start.

The dates

Mark these in your calendar:

Date Day Notes
10 October 2026 Saturday Opening market
14 November 2026 Saturday

13 February 2027 Saturday
13 March 2027 Saturday Final market of the season

Every market runs from 9am to 2pm.

Note that the December market is on a Sunday, as part of the Devonport Christmas Festival.

Made by the people selling it

Devonport Market is a makers' market. The people behind the stalls are the people who made what's on them, so you're buying straight from the source.

That changes the experience. Ask how something was made and you'll get the full story, often with a few tips thrown in. Many of our stallholders are small, independent businesses, and markets like this are where they meet their customers face to face and get honest feedback on what they're making.

Expect a mix of handmade goods, gifts, homewares and local produce, with something new to find each time.

Why Windsor Reserve

Windsor Reserve sits right on the Devonport waterfront, a short walk from the ferry terminal, looking back across the harbour to the city. It's one of the best spots in Auckland for a slow Saturday morning.

Make a day of it:

  • Catch the ferry from downtown and skip the parking hunt
  • Grab a coffee and wander the stalls
  • Stay on and explore Devonport village, the beaches or the walk up Mount Victoria

Christmas shopping, sorted

With markets in November and December, this season lines up well for Christmas. The December market is part of the Devonport Christmas Festival, so it'll be a bigger day with more going on. It's a good chance to buy gifts that are one-off, locally made, and come with a story.

See you there

Come along on Saturday 10 October and see what's new. Bring a friend, bring a bag, and take your time.
