Tips for visiting Upmarket

Come early or late, Upmarket can get very busy!
First At Upmarket in Hackett Hall is where you will find our dedicated section for our first time retailers – make sure that you visit them and show your support.
Baby carriers are a good idea but pram parking will be setup outside Hackett Hall if you need it.
Bring a friend/partner to help out with the kids if possible so you can take your time as there are so many areas to explore during Perth Upmarket. It’s only on quarterly so you’ll want to see everything! See the map attached for an overview of the venue – Winthrop Hall (undercroft/downstairs, foyer and upstairs), the verandah along the pond side, along the grassed side, stalls out on the grass and the verandah linking to First at Upmarket in Hackett Hall.
80% of the market is undercover, so if it’s raining don’t let that put you off. Parking is all on-site, so bring an umbrella and you’ll be fine.
There are 3 main sets of toilets so refer to the map if you need them.
Plan your day – check out ouronline retailer galleryand make a list of stalls you have to visit!
The Perth Upmarket info desk is in the Winthrop Hall foyer, it’s a good first stop as you can pick up a list of all retailers and enter their competition
The grounds of UWA are beautiful so wander around the gardens and hopefully the sun is shining so you can eat out on the lawn on the pond side of Winthrop Hall.
UWA’s Lawrence Wilson Art Gallery just behind Winthrop Hall is open on market day!
