Celebrate Mother’s Day at the Adelaide Showground Farmer’s Market

Celebrate Mother’s Day at the Adelaide Showground Farmers’ Market!

This Mother’s Day, spend the morning together at the Adelaide Showground Farmers’ Market as we celebrate Market Mums’ Day — a relaxed and local way to say thanks to Mum, Grandma, your step-mum or anyone who’s like a Mum to you.

Start the day with great coffee, fresh pastries, a homemade breakfast and some toe-tapping live music. There’s no need to rush — take your time wandering the stalls, soaking up the atmosphere, and letting Mum choose her own treats.
She might be tempted by MasterChef judge Poh Ling Yeow’s famous bakes at Jamface, a hot bagel from Barossa Bagels, or something sweet and warm from Toetjes — think Dutch pancakes and syrup waffles with hot chocolate.
And if you’re taking goodies home to make mum a a special breakfast in bed, the market has you covered. Pick up farm-fresh eggs from Feather & Peck, heritage bacon from San Jose Smallgoods, and sourdough or pastries from Croissant d’Or, Riviera Bakery, or Basket Range Bakery. Add fresh fruit, yoghurt from Paris Creek Farm, milk from Alexandrina Cheese Co. or Fleurieu Milk, and sprinkle with granola from Fodden.

Don’t forget something sweet! Treat Mum to a slice of traditional Slavic honey cake from House of Honey Cake, a handmade Portuguese tart from T’art, or a selection of seasonal French pastries from Mulots. Try the lavender fudge and brownies from Fleurieu Lavender, or for something a little different, grab an artisan alfajor biscuit sandwich from Opa Alfajores, or sourdough donuts in a variety of rich, irresistible flavours from Butter & Toast. If she’s a macaron fan, stop by The Macaron Bar for a colourful assortment of delicate, handmade treats. Whatever her sweet tooth prefers, there’s no shortage of options to make her day.

Complete the breakfast tray with a bouquet of fresh flowers from Kidman Flower Co. or Gooseberry Hill Farms, and you’ve got a thoughtful, locally made start to her day.

Shop & Win: Mother’s Day Hamper Draw
We’re giving away Market Mums’ Hampers packed with fresh produce and handmade goods from our stallholders — and we’ve added movie tickets too! Just shop between 8:30 AM and 11:30 AM on Sunday 11 May and enter someone special into the draw. The more stalls you visit, the more entries you can earn. Winners will be announced at 12 noon.
Special Guest – Poh’s Cooking Demo & Book Signing
We’re thrilled to welcome Poh Ling Yeow for a special Mother’s Day cooking demonstration from 10:00 AM – 11:00 AM in the south-east corner of the pavilion. Poh will be sharing simple, nourishing recipes from her latest book What I Cook When Nobody’s Watching — which you can buy and have signed straight after at her Jamface stall. A perfect keepsake or gift for any home cook.
Family Fun for All
To keep the little ones entertained, we’ve organised a jumpy castle and face painting, so Mum can browse in peace (or join in the fun). There’s live music all morning, plenty of ready-to-eat options, and space to sit and enjoy it all together.
Everything at the market is grown or made right here in South Australia by the people who produce it. So whether you bring Mum along, or shop early to surprise her at home, you’ll be supporting local growers, makers, and family-run businesses.
