A curated design market of Australian makers.
The Ballarat Makers Edit is a quarterly market created to celebrate Australian makers and design-led small businesses. They curate each edition with care so visitors can discover beautiful, well-made work and makers can present their range in a setting that values craft, consistency and story.
On a Friday night just before Christmas, Ballarat Farmers Market holds a very special market focusing on gifts, artwork, jewellery, homewares, clothing, woodwork, leather goods, dog treats and pet gifts, garden art, gourmet food, sweets and treats, wine, gin, cider and more. There will also be some essential produce - fresh berries, fruit, cheese, eggs, honey, bread and smallgoods.
Grab dinner from the hot food vans (wide range including paella, gozleme, Dutch pancakes, Malaysian, Indonesian, seafood, twisty potato and more!) and, of course, there will be coffee vans on site.
Stallholders from regular monthly Ballarat Farmers Markets will be attending, along with many stalls coming just for this event. Stallholders will feature Christmas specials and Christmas gift packs.
More than 250 stallholders will be attending, so mark the date and enjoy this special opportunity. In past years over 10,000 shoppers attended, with many stalls selling out. Come early to be sure of the widest range!
