About this market
Run by the team behind Rose Street Artists' Market, Trust Makers' Market brings a monthly sea of marquees to the sweeping lawns of the heritage-listed Rippon Lea Estate in Elsternwick. Expect a carefully curated mix of locally handmade artworks, jewellery, clothing, homewares, homegrown goods and hot food - all vetted for quality and originality. The grand estate grounds give the market a distinctly relaxed, picnic-friendly feel that sets it apart from inner-city weekend markets; visitors are encouraged to bring a rug and make a proper day of it. Occasional themed special events - such as the botanical-focused Botanica edition - add seasonal variety to the monthly programme.
