Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Bellingen, the home of grumpy old & young men and women. The place May look lovely on a drive through but don’t stop, there is nothing more than snobbery and a heightened sense of self with little money. Dull and boring.

These markets are really large and very well managed re Covid. Impressive range of goods to choose from including some quality goods. Wide range of food and drinks as well. Parking could be more challenging if you don’t get there early. Very relaxed atmosphere.

A great market in a beautiful location. Such a variety of home grown produce, plants, food and arts and crafts, much of it handmade and totally unique. Colourful locals busk along the paths and excellent music is provided in the performance space.

Would have loved to visit the markets, but when we arrived there was a big sign no dogs allowed on market day. Passed at least 10 people with dogs who couldn't get in.

We are sorry you couldn't come in because you had a dog. We love dogs but due to the size of our market and as I'm sure you saw, the thousands of people who attend. A day like yesterday, it would be pretty crazy if there were dogs too. Upon saying that we are considering trialling a 3 month dog friendly market in our quitter months. A notice will be placed on Facebook when and if this happens. Hope you can return one day and enjoy the diversity, dynamics and friendly buzz of our market.

We were in luck as our pit stop in Coffs coincided with this market so we made the 30 minute drive to Bellingen.
My 17 year old daughter bought a top, my wife bought a pottery item & I bought a record, so there’s something for everyone.
We had coffees, something to eat & enjoyed the live music.
Only problem...finding a car park.
