Making the Most of Your Market Visit

When planning to explore Mudgee markets, here are a few tips to ensure you have the best experience:

  • Arrive Early: to get the best selection of goods, it’s wise to arrive early. Many markets start in the morning and can get quite busy as the day progresses.
  • Bring Cash: while many vendors accept card payments, it’s always good to carry cash for those who don’t.
  • Ask Questions: don’t hesitate to engage with the vendors. They’re often the producers themselves and can provide valuable insights into their products.
