Hin Bus Depot, the former bus depot turned contemporary art centre on Jalan Gurdwara, hosts Hin Market every weekend. According to the venue's own website, the market runs every Saturday and Sunday from 10am to 5pm, and entry is free.
The market began as a Sunday pop-up and has grown into George Town's best-known weekend 市集 (makers' market). Hin Bus Depot describes it as a platform for entrepreneurs, small business owners, craftspeople, artisans, musicians, performers and makers. Expect handmade stationery and accessories, skincare, leather goods, local artwork, preloved finds and home-made food and drinks, often with live music in the garden. The venue's site also lists other themed markets that run under its banner – including Hin Friday Market, Grow Community Market, Kung Bros Collectors Market, The Makers Market and Luna Sinar Market – so check its Instagram pages for special editions.
Who it's for: anyone hunting for gifts that are not mass-produced, families looking for a relaxed weekend outing, and visitors who want to combine shopping with the galleries and street art around the depot.
Tips: come before lunch for the best choice and cooler temperatures, bring cash and an e-wallet as payment options vary by stall, and leave time to look around the exhibitions. Want to sell? The market's page has a WhatsApp link for stall applications. Schedule source: Hin Bus Depot official website (hinbusdepot.com).
