Arts Centre Melbourne isn't only great for the odd show or even for a meal and a tipple at the Barre. In fact, every weekend the grounds of the arts precinct's hub come alive with market stalls selling everything from handmade leather wallet to locally made art by the city's designers and small business owners.
Situated a short walk from Flinders Street Station, everything on offer at the market has been locally made, and the market also features a great range of food stalls if you want to shake up your weekend brunch. Head over to the Arslan gozleme stall for some Turkish pastry layered with delicious spicy lamb or cheese and spinach, or make a stop at the poffertjes stall for some Dutch pancakes.
The markets reopen weekends from December 12 with health and safety measures in place. There will be a max of 24 stallholders operating at any time, all of which will be spaced out. Visitors are asked not to touch items for sale – ask the stallholder if you'd like a closer look.
