mornington racecourse market, mornington
Second Sunday of the month. This brilliant market is always bustling, bursting with colour and has SO many stalls and lots to keep the kids entertained.
This market would have to be Mamma's favourite!
It's always bustling, bursting with colour and delectable snacks; there are SO many stalls and lots to keep the kids entertained. Such as mini golf, a petting zoo and a craft stand where they can create a large painting to take home.
With plenty of handmade craft items of every nature, it's a perfect place to purchase kids gifts, homemade jams/sauces/cakes/jewellery and art.
(FYI there is an AMAZING stall where the artist creates her work using only dots - they're breathtaking!)
Also with plenty of food vans, coffee, table and chairs and live music - it is a complete day out!
Mamma can highly recommend the delicious macarons (having sampled a few, to be sure haha).

Mornington has so much to offer, why not spend the day and check out the wonderful Messy Shed on your way home?

Every Sunday. What could be more relaxing than a Sunday morning spent at St Kilda Esplanade Market??
What could be more of an iconic tradition in the South than that of the St Kilda Esplanade Market?
Since 1970, this market has been a favourite with families, as there is something for everyone. Even your dog is covered - a food truck specifically catering for your fury friends, shout them a doggy-beer!
With over 140 artists in the open-air gallery, selling everything from tie-dyed t-shirts, portraits, plants, jewellery to scrumptious food trucks!
The fact this it is also surrounded by scenic views of Port Phillip Bay is the cherry on top!
