Wild About Melbourne

Tell us about some of the specialty items Wild About Melbourne has on offer. Are you bringing anything new to the this installment?

There are new and fabulous makers coming to our markets, plus some returning favourites. Our Thornbury market will once again be tantalised by the world’s most delicious salted caramel fudge by SMALT. Plus the ladies at the Bowls Club make a delicious Devonshire Tea. 

Your Christmas list is sorted for everyone with everything from handmade baby clothes and toys, jewellery, kids DIY kits, recycled notebooks, handmade soaps, art for your walls and candles. Because everyone has an aunt, sister, friend, neighbour that they buy a candle for at Christmas, at least make it an amazing handmade candle.

You’re bringing down some live entertainment this time. Who’s on the bill?

In Reservoir, we team up with Reservoir Village to provide a fun day out for all. You’ll find roaming live music, craft activities,  roller skating Christmas baubles, yes that is an actual thing, and of course, a visit from the big guy in red himself, Santa.

What do you love most about a day at the Wild About Melbourne Markets?

I love that people gather at our markets, meet friends and catch up over a coffee or beer. It’s not just a day of handmade shopping, but a local day out. 

I also love when happy shoppers and happy makers combine – a shopper is ecstatic that they have made a great purchase and the maker is thrilled that their handmade work is going to a good home, and I really love the beer at the end of a market day.

  

Where can people find out about the next Wild About Melbourne Market?

I am always on Instagram and often on facebook and occassionally on twitter. There’s even a website and an enewsletter that you can sign up to get all our market updates.
