To market, to market, to buy a.....well, just about anything really! There is a smorgasbord of fresh food markets, farmers' markets, pre-loved markets, handmade and flea markets in the West.
Every Saturday and Sunday
The Laverton Market is on every Saturday and Sunday. The Laverton Market has stood the test of time. After over 50 years of trade (since 1974) they still get the crowds. Every Saturday and Sunday (except Christmas Day). Mamma says this the biggest market of its kind in Victoria and a westie 'must visit'. You will find cheap veggies, plants, plenty of tracksuit pants and hot jam donuts - yum!
Second Sunday of every month
The Williamstown Farmers Market has been a long-standing favourite in Mamma's family. We always come away loaded up with fresh fruit and veggies, pasta, flowers, cakes, meats and more. The stalls can vary from month to month. Be sure to bring a picnic rug to kick back on and enjoy a fresh scone, hot pie or bacon and egg roll with your morning coffee. The entire market is dog-friendly too!
Third Sunday of every month
Happening in the quaint town of Talbot, The Talbot Farmers Market has become very popular in the last couple of years attracting thousands of visitors, we know why - it's fantastic. Talbot is fair hike from the West (about 90 minutes, this side of the bridge past Ballarat) so leave early to make the most of it!
Third Sunday of every month
The Williamstown Craft Market is set in the beautiful Williamstown in the middle of the gorgeous Commonwealth Reserve. If you need a family adventure that covers all bases, then this is a great one! Coffee, playground and market stall goodies are all rolled up into one lovely package at the Williamstown Craft Market. You'll also find gifts, flowers, soaps, candles, wooden toys and heaps more.
Inspiring families in Melbourne's West to uncover amazing stuff nearby. You will find inside local knowledge on parks, playgrounds, cafes, family activities, markets and more all waiting to be uncovered, rediscovered and enjoyed.
