TASTE TRAIL Kenilworth Markets - A Little Slice of Country Life

Looking for Helen’s famous Redneck Relish? You’ll find it here - but that’s only the beginning of what makes Kenilworth Markets such a perfect way to spend a Saturday morning.

Each weekend, Kenilworth Town Park comes alive with colour, creativity, and that laid-back country charm we all love. Tucked between the legendary Kenilworth Bakery and the award-winning Dairy Factory, it’s the perfect spot to grab a coffee, take a stroll, and see what treasures catch your eye.

The stalls are full of beautiful, locally made goods — handcrafted camphor laurel chopping boards, unique furniture, gypsy-style jewellery, Australian art, fun t-shirts and stickers, plants, homewares, ceramics, clothing for the whole family, plus all sorts of arts and crafts. Whether you’re hunting for something special or just browsing, there’s always something new to discover.

What makes the markets even more special is that it’s all run by volunteers. As a not-for-profit, Kenilworth Markets exist for the benefit of the local community. Thanks to the support of stallholders and visitors, funds raised have helped support the community car, improve disabled access at the Kenilworth Pool, assist disability access at the local school, and contribute to the SES. So every coffee you buy or treasure you find is helping give back to the town.

Many stallholders are there every week - familiar faces who love what they do and enjoy a friendly chat. Then there are the pop-up and fortnightly stalls that bring new surprises. Locals mingle with campers and day-trippers, kids play happily in the big playground right next door, and dogs on leads enjoy the outing too.

But really, it’s not just about what you buy, it’s about how you feel while you’re there. Friendly chats, fresh country air, and the simple joy of slowing down for a while.

So why not pop in this Saturday? They’d love to see you. And don’t leave without tasting Helen’s Redneck Relish — once you try it, you’ll know why it’s famous.
