Queen Victoria Market

  • Heritage listed
  • Community

The Queen Vic Market provides an authentic shopping experience in the heart of the city. Home to hundreds of small businesses, it's the largest open air market in the southern hemisphere.

As well as a large range of fresh produce, you can shop for specialty cheeses in the Dairy Hall, enjoy a meal at one of the many cafes, or grab a coffee and croissant to go.

The huge range of speciality shopping opens from 9am every Market day and includes locally made art, clothing, homewares, jewellery, skincare, plants, books, pet supplies and flowers.

The market is proudly plastic bag and straw free. But if you forget to bring your own bag or basket, reusable bags are available for purchase. Shopping trolleys are also available for hire.

If you can’t make it to the market, shop online with same-day delivery of fresh produce to more than 150 suburbs. Click and collect is also available.

The City of Melbourne respectfully acknowledges the Traditional Owners of the land we govern, the Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung and Bunurong Boon Wurrung peoples of the Eastern Kulin and pays respect to their Elders past, present and emerging.

We acknowledge and honour the unbroken spiritual, cultural and political connection the Wurundjeri, Bunurong, Dja Dja Wurrung, Taungurung and Wadawurrung peoples of the Eastern Kulin have to this unique place for more than 2000 generations.

We are committed to our reconciliation journey, because at its heart, reconciliation is about strengthening relationships between Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal peoples, for the benefit of all Victorians.
