About this market
The Bentleigh Sunday Market is a Rotary Club of Bentleigh Moorabbin Central institution - one of Melbourne's oldest Sunday markets, running continuously since 1977 and entirely volunteer-run with all proceeds going to local charities and Rotary projects. Set in the Bentleigh Station car park on Bent Street, the market draws thousands of bargain hunters each week with its eclectic mix of over 140 stalls selling plants, antiques, clothing, jewellery, tools, books, crafts, pre-loved goods, and collectibles. It's a proper trash-and-treasure experience: unpredictable, community-rooted, and beloved across Glen Eira. After browsing the stalls, the many cafes and takeaway shops along nearby Centre Road are just a short walk away.
