The market has been running since 1999, it is uniquely run by the market stallholders who hold their market meeting every first tuesday of the month.

Come and enjoy the atmosphere — this toddler/child-friendly market not only supplies you with the freshest vegetables you are likely to find anywhere (except from your own garden), you can also get growing tips as you do your shopping. We are committed to providing local organic produce, reducing our carbon footprint. Our stallholders have travelled an average of 20kms rather than at least 1000kms you would expect from most supermarket produce.

The drive to get the population vaccinated is gathering momentum despite the issue dividing families and straining friendships

Byron Shire Mayor Michael Lyon is refusing to join other health, political and community leaders in calls for people to receive a COVID 19 vaccine.

Man this is embarrassing… sometimes I find myself thinking how Australians can be so racist & blind 😳 this attempt to the integrity of all the people (backpackers) who have been in Byron bay past, present and future who have supported local businesses, giving a helping hand to the community, paying tax ect. Then you guys have the audacity to say this about only “LOCALS ONLY” 

Also another thing if you want to talk about “locals only” Byron Shire Council recognises the Bundjalung of Byron Bay Arakwal people, the Minjungbal people and the Widjabul people as Traditional Owners and custodians for parts of the Byron Shire so please think again when you say “locals only”. It doesn’t make you a local cause you’ve been here since the 80s the real locals are the indigenous people of this land. 🖤💛❤️

All I can hope for is that the new generation aren’t so ignorant as you oldies… peace out rabbits ✌🏽

We would like to express our heartfelt condolences on the passing of local resident John 'Strop' Cornell, previous owner of the Beach Hotel and producer of Crocodile Dundee, who has died at his home in Byron Bay surrounded by his wife Delvene Delaney and family ❤️

John and Delvene generously supported many local organisations including the Byron Community Centre. The Cornell family were pivotal in the opening of the Byron Theatre which acts as a social enterprise to support services and programs for our community's most vulnerable. We are so thankful for John and Delvene's support of the Byron Community Centre and Byron Theatre which has truly made a difference 🙏

"A classic Australian character, John Cornell made the lives he touched much richer, not only through donations, but also through his generosity of spirit, humour, humility and honour. A true egalitarian, John sought equity and equality, and fought for a fair go." - Cornell family statement

Our hearts go out to Delve
