The Big Thrift Market

Torquay’s first-ever Big Thrift Market is coming this summer!

Celebrate second-hand clothing, vintage treasures, food trucks, local brewers, DJs, and local buskers from 2 pm to 8:30 pm.

This unique event offers everything from vintage clothing and vinyl records to re-loved furniture and unique accessories. With an entry fee of $8 for adults, $5 for ages 13-17, and free for kids under 12, attendees can browse curated selections in a scenic setup under the trees by the ocean, complete with grassy areas perfect for picnics.

Enjoy delicious food from the trucks, face painting, and even a mobile barber for a fresh summer haircut! DJs and buskers will bring the tunes, creating a lively, immersive space for the whole community. With over 80 stalls, Big Thrift combines sustainable shopping with community spirit, supporting small businesses while promoting eco-friendly choices.

Whether you're hunting for a statement jacket, a rare record, or just a fun day out, Big Thrift is set to be an exciting addition to Torquay’s event calendar, offering locals and visitors a memorable, sustainable way to shop and connect.
