10 Unique and Community Markets in November / December 2014

It's easy to get wrapped up in the production value and slick marketing of the major markets like the Queen Victoria Night Markets, the Noodle Markets and regulars like the Arts Centre Sunday and South Melbourne Markets. They are stable favorites, however if you're seeking something away from the tourist trail, why not give these unique markets a look in November / December 2014.

[b]Horse Gear and Track Market[/b]
Date: Saturday 8 November
Location: Yarra Glen & Lilydale Hunt Club, 28 Melba Hwy, Coldstream
What to expect: A fun day out in the country. Catering for anyone interested in the equine world, you'll find stalls selling a range of new and used riding gear, end of season items, clothing, training items and horse related products. Whether you are purchasing for use or for decorative purposes, this is a great market to check out the range of goods on offer. The horse gear and track market is only held twice a year so gets a great turnout. Admission is $2 with children 12 years and under free.



[b]Urban Summer Nights Market[/b]
Date: Saturday 8 November and 13 December
Location: Kelly Park, cnr of Synnot and Cherry Street, Werribee
What to expect: Don't be fooled by the name, this Urban Market is not held on a rooftop, or in a laneway and frequented by skinny-jean clad youths. This Urban Summer Night Market is help in the central park of Werribbe and is a family affair. Featuring a rotating set of stallholders, as well as free entertainment of local musicians, some lovely food and an enjoyable summer twilight atmosphere, these markets are the set to become iconic in the west. The markets are only 5 min walk from Werribee train station and run from 4:00pm – 9:00pm

[b]Yarraville Market[/b]

Location: Masonic Hall, Cnr Canterbury & Willis Street, Yarraville
What to expect: All things quaint and quirky. This indoor market is the perfect place for battling the extreme weather that we can experience in November and December. Products on offer range from jewellery and candles, to skincare, herbal teas and clothing with an emphasis on handmade. This cute market is extremely family-friendly, offering face painting and colouring competitions for the kids.

[b]Nanna Cool's November Market [/b]

What to expect: Nanna Cool are 'markets with craftitude', celebrating old-school craft with a contemporary edge. Actively encouraging the upcycle and recycle craft movement, Nanna Cool stallholders all have a passion for vintage, an extreme amount of talent and a flair for bringing crafts of the past into the modern era. In the write up for Nanna Cool, the term [i]thoughtful consumerism[/i] is mentioned and that really is the key to this market. Shop like your nanna would, look at the quality and durability and be charmed by the aesthetics.



[b]The Chevron Market[/b]
Date: Sunday 23 November
Location: Italian Sports Club Of Werribee, 601 Heaths Road, Werribee
What to expect: I adore this market concept. The Chevron Markets are 'Dedicated to Assisting Mums in Business'. This unique market creates opportunities for mum's with businesses to showcase themselves and their wares, as well as network and grow their trades. Who better to create goods for the family than mums themselves, they are the creators and the target market, how often does that happen?! Get along to find some outside-of-the-square ideas and products and support mums in business.
