About this market
The Makers & Shakers Market is a weekend-long makers event that moves between landmark venues rather than setting up in the same spot each week. In Melbourne it pops up around twice a year, with past and planned editions linked to the Royal Exhibition Building in Carlton and a spring stop at Seaworks in Williamstown. Sydney also gets its own editions. The occasional, multi-day format makes each market feel like an event worth planning around, not a regular weekend errand.
Upcoming stops
This market moves. Check the suburb and venue for the date you are going, so you do not arrive at last week's park.
