Women-led. Community-minded. Proudly Canberran.
Our women-led team at Local Village Markets has a profound appreciation for markets—and it’s easy to see why. Markets capture the narrative of a region: its climate, its people, and its culture.
At LVM, we support local small businesses that showcase everything the Canberra Region has to offer. Each market becomes a vibrant hub for artisans and creatives, with a strong focus on collaboration, visitor experience, community inclusion, and sustainable practices.
Locally Grounded
Local Village Markets is proudly founded and led by Alexandra Webb and her team from Canberra. Our team brings together diverse expertise in event delivery, design, sustainability and operations. We believe in creating pathways for small businesses to thrive.

What We Do
Our markets are carefully curated to create bespoke spaces where producers, artisans, designers, and growers connect directly with their customers. This allows every visitor not only to shop local, but also to meet the person behind the product and become part of the story.
Beyond trading, our markets bring people together through:
- Curated experiences that highlight regional talent and creativity
- Support for small businesses, providing a platform to test ideas and grow customer bases
- Sustainability in action, from plastic-free initiatives to reusable programs
- Community connection, with family-friendly programming, live music, and inclusive activations
