Looking for the monthly Red Hill Market®?

The Mount Martha Briars Market runs on the first Saturday of the month from September to May, taking over the regular Red Hill Market® schedule. A true craft and produce market full of original makers, creators and designers from near and far. Set within beautiful natural surrounds, the Briars in Mount Martha is one of the Mornington Peninsula’s most special places to spend the day. When you visit the market, you can also wander through the Wildlife Sanctuary, explore the historic outbuildings and heritage gardens around the Briars Homestead, or stay on to enjoy a BBQ. The original Red Hill Community Market® is no longer running. Any community markets running at Red Hill have no association with Craft Market Australia’s only original Red Hill Market at the Red Hill Recreation Reserve & Showgrounds.

The original and only Red Hill Market organisers

Craft Markets Australia is Victoria’s leading craft and food market holder. Starting in 1975, 4 couples had an idea to bring seasonal produce and artisanal goods from local artists, farmers and crafts people to the local community. Their first market was held in the hinterland of Red Hill on the Mornington Peninsula and is still going strong some 45 years later. The original Red Hill market has become a quintessential tourist destination and must be visited for any trip to the Mornington Peninsula.

What does Craft Markets Australia do?

Bringing communities and local producers together through high-quality market experiences in some of Victoria’s most picturesque locations. Including the several on the Mornington Peninsula, Daylesford, the Yarra Valley and Hanging Rock, to name a few.

Why is Craft Markets Australia different?

CMA prides itself on holding markets that are more than just another tedious and painful trip to the shops. Instead, their markets are an event, a family day out and a chance to experience artisanal goods and gourmet food amongst the beautiful surroundings.
