Melbourne Cheeky Monkey Market

Melbourne Cheeky Monkey Market runs its Pop Up Collective events inside shopping centres across Melbourne's north, east and west, with stops reaching out to Bacchus Marsh and Ballarat. The organiser has been running markets for over a decade, and each pop-up brings local artisans, small businesses and entrepreneurs together to showcase handmade and unique goods. Stall numbers for similar products are deliberately capped, so the mix stays varied. In the lead-up to Christmas the calendar fills with two-day gifting weekends and multi-day Black Friday and Christmas runs, which makes it a handy way to find something special while you do your regular shopping. The team also works with local charities and promotes sustainability.
