A Festival Market

The monthly Oberon Community Market has become a staple in the Oberon calendar with local makers and sellers regularly attending to show their wares and engage with each other and the community. In March 2026 we’re expanding the existing market, growing it into a bustling festival marketplace! 

Special Market Events

Meet Romeo and Juliet. We’ll be featuring a special FREE Q and A session with the actors: Charlotte Edwards (Juliet) and Ciarán O’Riordan (Romeo) from Shakespearean Troupe ’Come You Spirits’. Charlotte and Ciarán will answer questions about their roles in their troupe’s production of Shakespeare’s classic play and about Shakespeare and his plays generally and their relevance to us today.

Elizabethan Era Fight Workshop. Actors from the troupe will conduct a FREE workshop revealing some of the historical stage combat techniques, focusing on safety, character, and the specific weapons of the period, such as the rapier and dagger. The workshop will combine physical training in footwork, parries, and attacks with theoretical understanding of how fights were choreographed and integrated into Shakespearean plays.

CALLING ALL STALLHOLDERS

The Oberon Shakespeare Festival 2026 is set to bring the town to life – and we’re growing the Community Market into a bustling festival marketplace! We’re after foodies, makers, and creatives to join the fun. We’re especially keen if your stall has an Elizabethan or medieval twist. Don’t miss your chance to be part of this lively day.

Special Market Events

We’re planning special market events starting with the two events mentioned above: Meet Romeo and Juliet, and an Elizabethat Era Fight Workshop. We’re hoping to add more events.

Other demonstrations and events. Market Stallholders are welcome to conduct their own workshops or demonstrations at the market. Just let us know what you plan and we’ll schedule a time on the day and add the event into our promotional material.

Soon after the markets close we commence activities across the road in the Oberon Common.

Acclaimed Shakespearean troupe ‘Come You Spirits’ will perform Shakespeare’s classic tragedy ‘Romeo and Juliet’, live, into the twilight and the early evening, under the stars. Pack a picnic, bring a rug or chair, gather the family, and prepare to lose yourself in one of Shakespeare’s greatest tales of love, fate and tragedy.
