April: 

Only 3 more months left in our Ocean 98.5 promotion. We're giving away books ... see our Newsletter.

Bastion Square Public Market (outdoor/city centre) 
Season: April 1- October 25 (5 days/wk)

Robert's 11th Season - 9 am - 5:00pm (official times varies with the seasons - vendors may leave/stay dependant on weather/tourist conditions but Robert (the Old Man of the market) usually works Wed-Sun and packs up around 5 (others may stay later).

Come meet Victoria's most popular and approachable author who loves to talk history when he's not selling books.

We will also deliver books to your hotel if you arrive and the market is not on due to weather conditions etc. If you're planning a visit to our lovely city of Victoria, BC, this historical and beautiful market venue with its backdrop of restored historical buildings - originally the site of Fort Victoria - and views of our famous Victoria Harbour ... and Robert (of course!) are worth the visit!  

Robert's spot is across Government St. from The Bay Centre and opposite the Irish Times Pub as it has been for four years now.  Look for his two large posters.
