Get ready, pop culture enthusiasts! The Collectors Market is making its grand return to Brisbane (sort of, in Eagleby) on May 3–4, 2025.

This bi-annual event is a haven for collectors, gamers, cosplayers, and fans of all things nostalgic and nerdy. Held at the Distillery Road Market, the weekend promises a blend of rare finds, engaging activities, and a celebration of geek culture.

Despite this event being in the smaller site, we love how it is well organised, has quality vendors and it is ever growing event after event. We also like that each time there is a bigger cosplayer presence!!
