Melbourne Design Market Highlights

Check out the full market lineup and squiz our team's highlights here!

Low sensory hour:
We have introduced a low sensory hour on Sunday from 9am - 10am, and you can purchase a ticket here (it includes your general admission). The lights will be dimmed, music off, and noise and crowd levels kept low during this hour for those who may benefit from a calmer market experience. Limited tickets will be available on the door too.

Indigenous Program:
This season's Indigenous Program recipient is new skincare brand Thirsty Turtl, who work with First Nations farmers to source their plant ingredients on their mission to improve Australia's biodiversity and elevate Indigenous culture. Meet all three co-founders at the market, and read more about them on the blog here!

Hands-on art:
Cult-fave artist Ellie Hopley, aka Shuturp, is creating a communal art mural for market-goers alongside a stall of her prints, books and apparel, and visitors can sit for a portrait by illustrator Eleonora Arosio as she brings her popular 3-minute-portraits from Korea back to the Melbourne Market. Ellie and Eleonora will join more than 40 artists and illustrators offering affordable art to suit all tastes! 

Kids and their grown ups will have a ball at the interactive craft space making yummy-looking treats with See Make Play.

Flavour Finds:
The food lineup features fresh local snacks and meals, including debut Gigi's Gelato, Ballarat-made chocolate Lucky and James by former Monsieur Truffe and Koko Black chocolatier Jade Davidson, non-alcoholic drinks including sugar cane juice by Fresh Rus and sparkling yerba maté soda by Matéo Soda, and many more. 

Bar bevvies include Wonki with their food-waste-fighting drinks, Fin Wines with their "minimal faffing" approach, vodka iced tea, Molly Rose Brewing beers and gin, fresh Listo Margaritas and more. 

DIY Your Own Custom Scent:
