Hin Bus Depot

We have visited twice, once for the Sunday market and yesterday for the NY market. Loved it both times. Great space and we have really enjoyed the exhibitions we have seen here. The icing on the cake has been the markets - the stalls sell high quality gifts, food, drinks and souvenirs. There’s been live music too. Everyone is so chilled, friendly and happy it’s been great. From February 2026 there will be a market here on Fridays. When we return to Georgetown next year we’ll make sure to visit again.

The gift that just keeps giving. This place is magical! Used as an open art space, film venue, market, community space, workshops, activism, music etc. free toilets, lots of vendors and cafes, beautiful craft stalls at the weekends, second hand clothes, vintage stuff. Perfect place to just chill out and wander. We love it and keep coming back from across the world. It's well maintained and decorated. Make sure you explore every corner - there are hidden rooms that are exhibition spaces in places you don't expect.

Love the vibe! Glad we managed to catch the first Saturday market of 2026! Great variety of merchandise, thrift, food and beverages. Live band music was excellent too. Check out their IG account for themed markets each weekend.

When we first entered this old bus station, the environment was really nostalgic. The architecture and interior brought back memories. Plenty of activities here in this Market/Bazaar. Many local artisans sell their creations here, such as handmade skincare, hair accessories, painting and many more. We also had the chance to savour delicious home baked cookies, artisan coffee, juices and the list continues. At the entrance, there was an art exhibition, featuring art drawn with coloured pencils. Art is available for purchase. Also, the busker (a young lady, I forgot her name) deserves a big mention here. Her vocals were superb. I am not sure if this market is permanent or seasonal.

Amazing space for all tastes and ages. Squeeze beautifully among high rise and new developing in Georgetown. I found this place is not only amazing but inspiring. It sets great example for Asia cities to have community área like this!

A mix of independent artisans and micro food stalls that pops up on weekends. I really enjoyed the art exhibit by Sharon SS Kow and her realistic drawings. Plus all the funds raised going to a great cause. There were dj’s, bands and youth choirs performing Xmas tunes as I visited in December. Great energy to the whole area and a nice way to enjoy part of your weekend. Can be a bit crowded at times and some parents were struggling with prams.

Dropped by to admire the artwork and murals. I came on a weekday so it was quiet and slow, I'm sure more happening during weekends. You can find art exhibitions here and a verity of small shops and cafes. Great place to chill and enjoy the artsy atmosphere in this former bus depot facility 🎨😎

Love the vibes. Very nice flea market. Bought stickers and knitted Keychains to support local artists. There is also live singing performances. Lots of interesting knick knocks, vintage stuff and clothes. Many interesting food stalls as well. Worth a visit on a Sunday.

Located in Jalan Gurdwara in Penang's infamous George Town, Hin Bus depot is or was exactly what it claims to be. It is a former bus depot that has been converted into an unlikely art space that hosts a number of conceptual art exhibitions and screenings. It started out as host to graffiti artist Ernest Zacharevic's first solo exhibition entitled "Art is Rubbish" and you can still check out the murals from his exhibition on display today amidst the centre's colonial, art deco stylings. What I really dig about this place is the fact that it does a good job at preserving the cultural heritage of the building and its support of the local arts scene. It's a great place for culture vultures and an interesting alternative spot to bring visitors after a day of café trawling and infamous street food hunting
