Who are we?

We are the people’s marketplace.

You don’t have to be a brand or qualified designer | But we do love artisan creatives | You may be starting out or perhaps you have a cool idea | Maybe you are a collector, designer of artwork or furniture and want to sell on to good homes | Collab with your best friends, clean out your wardrobes and share an experience | We love vintage sellers | We are Gilles at The Grounds.

We are for the gatherer, the collector the designer and YOU.

Bring your idea to life at Gilles!

Gilles Street Market originated in 2008 in the heart of the city, Adelaide at the historic, Gilles Street Primary School. Heralded as Adelaide’s original fashion and design marketplace, Gilles Street has provided a platform for emerging and established designers to showcase their work, whilst also encouraging an ethical environment for pre-loved/vintage sellers. We proudly support the reuse, recycle and re-love concepts to minimise waste impact on our environment.

In April 2018 Gilles Street Market relocated to a large indoor residence, at the Old Brick Dairy housed within the historic Adelaide Showgrounds. Located on South Boulevard, Leader Street Entrance (off Goodwood Road) Large barn doors give way to a delightful grassed area, with various live music activations,additional food and children’s zones.

Gilles at the Grounds continues to remain dog friendly.

Yet provisions will be put in place to ensure dog owners are aware of rules and behaviour.

The newly designed space will incorporate up to 120 sellers on a range of selected dates throughout the calendar year. Keeping in mind that The Showgrounds house numerous events, we have tried to select our dates in accordance to the current exhibitors. Whilst not always on the same weekend each month, we aim to trade once a month with selected additional dates.
