Melbourne Craft Markets
A guide to the best places to buy and sell handmade crafts in Melbourne.
Melbourne is awash with colour. Its gardens, markets and nightlife come together to make a lively, vibrant city: the sounds, the smells and the atmosphere are all part of what makes Melbourne, Melbourne.
More and more Melburnians are making handcrafts and taking them to market. For some it’s extra income; for others it’s a way to find their feet outside the 9-to-5. Either way, these crafts are handmade in Melbourne, so buying them supports Australian families and local makers.
Want to sell your own handmade work to people who’ll appreciate the time and love you’ve put into it? These markets are a great place to start.
Featured markets
Rose St Artists’ Market
Every Saturday · Fitzroy
Held at 60 Rose Street, Fitzroy, this market helps artists and designers showcase and sell their handmade work and art without high retail or gallery commissions.
Red Hill Market
1st Saturday, Sept–May · 8am–1pm
The grande dame of Victoria’s craft markets. It began in 1975, when local artists, craftspeople and producers bartered their goods with each other.
The bartering has gone, but the colour and excitement of those early years remain. Head down near Arthurs Seat on the Mornington Peninsula. It does clash with Rose St, but you can’t have your cake and eat it too.
St Kilda Esplanade Market
Sundays · St Kilda
A fantastic way to spend a sunny Sunday. Start at Acland Street and wander all the way to the Esplanade Hotel, then head to the pier to see the penguins or grab a coffee and cake at the end.
You’ll find almost 200 artists and craftspeople, with a wide range of handmade work in wood, glass, paper, resin, recycled materials and more.
