Homemade, home-grown community tradition

For more than 40 years, Eltham Craft and Produce Market has been filling locals’ Sundays with homemade and home-grown delights.

The market, conveniently located in the beautiful surrounds of Alistair Knox Park in Eltham, is a familiar sight in the community and supports a wide range of local and micro businesses keen to share their passions with visitors.

Stallholders beckon from behind tables piled high with the freshest fruit and vegetables.

Shoppers are sure to find the perfect gift for that special someone or a new treasure for around the home from the variety of products available.

There are handmade cards, unique jewellery, beautiful candles, artwork and woodwork, knitted goodies, plants and leather goods to be found.

The market also stocks homemade jams, chutneys, biscuits, cakes and slices to satisfy any craving.

All products are either homemade or home-grown.

Coffee and meals are also available to keep visitors going all market long.

The market is a not-for-profit organisation that believes in and supports the community.

And Eltham Craft and Produce Market gives back in more ways than one – each month, it gives a donation to a local community group.

As well as featuring stallholders from Eltham and surrounds, most of the market’s committee members either live in or grew up in the area, demonstrating just how ingrained it is in the culture of the local community.

With its homemade and home-grown philosophy, the market also promotes the importance of sustainability and being environmentally friendly.

Eltham Craft and Produce Market is held on the third Sunday of every month from 8.30am to 1pm, with the next markets to be held on 15 September, 20 October, 17 November, and 15 December – just in time for Christmas!

A special twilight market will be held on 1 December from 3pm to 7.30pm.
