Bathurst Street is a street in Hobart, Tasmania. The street was named by Lachlan Macquarie in honour of Henry Bathurst, 3rd Earl Bathurst.[1]

Along the street at the Playhouse Theatre (Mathers Place) and State Library of Tasmania is the site of the Farm Gate Market ('Farmy'), which begins at the bell of 8:30am every Sunday morning, trading breakfast at 8am and from vendors of Tasmanian-grown produce until 1pm.[2] It began in 2009.[3]
