With a major expansion set for completion in 2026, the iconic destination will soon offer an even richer experience for its millions of annual visitors.
Currently, the Market welcomes over eight million people each year, and this expansion promises to enhance its status as a premier food and cultural hub. By doubling its footprint and increasing its tenancy, the Market will provide a broader array of dining, retail, and community experiences.
A new world of flavour
The expansion will introduce a diverse range of new spaces, including traditional market-style stalls, modern kiosks for quick bites and beverages, and perimetre stores offering a more traditional retail and dining experience.
For food lovers, this means more opportunities to explore local and international flavours. From fresh produce to innovative food and beverage concepts, the expanded Market will cater to all culinary tastes. The addition of new tenancies will also include areas dedicated to grab-and-go meals, dine-in options, and specialty food products that complement the existing offerings.
A hub of community and culture
The new Market Hall will become a vibrant meeting place, hosting pop-ups, events, and activities that celebrate the Market’s rich history and diverse culture. The reinstated east-west pedestrian access to Victoria Square and The Laneway will enhance connectivity and urban culture, making the Market a central part of Adelaide’s social fabric.
The expanded Market will also feature an elevated outdoor terrace, providing a relaxing space for visitors to enjoy their purchases while soaking in the lively atmosphere. And there’ll be more car parking too!
What this means for shoppers
The expansion promises to offer more of what shoppers love about the Adelaide Central Market – an extensive variety of high-quality products, a dynamic and welcoming atmosphere, and a strong sense of community.
