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. Factor in a few bucks to feast on winter comfort food. Warm up with a cup of hot mulled wine or boozy spiced Milo. Then browse vintage fashion, records and more in the specialty shops.

Add a touch of whimsy to your winter at this gorgeous market. Find fashion, jewellery, art and more from local Melbourne artists. Join a creative workshop or get a photo of your aura. Then visit the Vegan Market in The Edge and The Terrace. Find delicious plant-based chocolate, vegan skincare, food trucks and more earth-friendly goodies.

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

Visit one of Melbourne's most unique neighbourhoods and browse this local monthly market. Fuel up with a coffee then peruse unique goodies from local makers, artisan treats, homewares and kids accessories. Then it's only a short stroll to The Premises for a cheeky brunch date.

Wander rows of treats and treasures at this undercover market every Sunday. Spanning a mammoth three levels, this Melbourne institution recently moved from the Arts Centre to new digs in Southgate. From silk scarves to gourmet goodies, you're bound to uncover some unique finds.
