E Shed Markets, Heritage market in Victoria Quay, Fremantle, Australia.
E Shed Markets is a heritage timber building on Victoria Quay with waterfront views that houses various vendors and food stalls. The structure contains a mix of locally made products, fresh food, and regional specialties sold from individual stands throughout the space.
The original "E" Shed was demolished in 1929 and replaced on the same spot at Victoria Quay. In 1995 the timber shed was moved to vacant land behind B and C sheds and rotated 180 degrees. Tarek Ibrahim of AND Design designed the conversion, built by Fini Group for A$6 million.
The market hosts free entertainment, including weekly live music, tribute shows, children's face painting and discos, magicians and quiz shows. The Squiffies Café inside the market opens seven days a week and serves pastries and beverages.
The market occupies the timber "E" Shed on Victoria Quay, behind the B and C sheds, a short walk from Fremantle Harbour's wharf area. The Squiffies Café inside the shed serves pastries and drinks seven days a week, so the building is not only a weekend stop. Allow time to walk the length of the shed to see the stalls and the free entertainment.
The 1995 move was designed by Tarek Ibrahim of AND Design and built by Fini Group at a cost of A$6 million, about A$11.8 million in 2022 terms, including the conversion into a market. The shed was shifted from beside the river to vacant land behind B and C sheds.
