The ultimate guide to Melbourne's best markets

Gather ‘round roaring fire pits every Wednesday for the Winter Night Market. Entry is free and there'll be roaming entertainment and silent discos during the epic 13-week season. Warm up with a cup of hot mulled wine or boozy spiced rum Milo. Then order indulgent cheese wheel pasta, karaage fried chicken and sticky date pudding.

Grab your plant-based bestie and head straight to this all-vegan market. Pick up animal-friendly skincare and makeup. Munch on delicious food and drinks. Or shop for locally-designed, ethically made sustainable clothing.

From handmade jewellery to one-of-a-kind art, this Sunday market is your ticket to living the boho lifestyle. Browse dozens of stalls and shop for stunning homewares, fashion and more. Then join creative workshops and get your very own psychic reading.

Love to curl up with a good book? Stock up on top titles at Queen Victoria Market on every Saturday and Sunday. Choose from thousands of new and pre-loved reads. Selected by some of Melbourne’s most experienced booksellers, authors and illustrators.

Find the city's best locally made buys at the limited run pop-up market. Curated by the team behind the Rose Street Artists’ Market. Find indie designers, local makers, creative artists and more under the iconic Queen Vic Market sheds. Better yet, entry is free. Open on the last Saturday of each month.
