Here is a list of 10 reasons to bring yourself, your family, your friends, your dog, your mates from bookclub, (anyone really) to the next Creswick Market:
1. We showcase some of the best fresh produce, artists and designers in the region. At Creswick Market you can see what the Central Highlands is all about - being gorgeous.
2. We aim to source as many stall holders as possible within one hour
of base camp. Because you can talk directly to our makers you know are getting top quality, lovingly made or freshly harvested, for the best prices available.
4. We aim to have only one or two stall holders selling similar things, guaranteed diversity, and we evolve with the seasons.
5. We have an amazing selection of handpicked buskers, adding their talent to the mix and the delightful atmosphere.
6. We are children, wheelchair, pram, and dog friendly. All are welcome, something for everyone.
7. Our market is set in the lovely, historical grounds of Creswick Neighbourhood Centre - surrounded by trees and gardens. No streets or cattle sheds for us.
8. By supporting our market you are not just supporting local small business, but also Creswick Neighbourhood Centre and the adult education classes, free internet access, community garden and community drop in groups, jam sessions, mothers group- everything that the Neighbourhood Centre does!
9. We are only 15-20 minutes drive from Daylesford or Ballarat, and a cruisey hour and fifteen from Melbourne (straight up the Western Freeway & turn right).
10. The fun doesn't stop here! Creswick is surrounded by beautiful lakes and forests for great walking, is the home of Creswick Woollen Mills where you can meet the alpacas and see the entire production process, as well as the nearby Maze House and Tuki Trout Farm. Not to mention our World Class Golf Course at the RACV Forest Resort. Chat to the friendly volunteers in the Visitor Information Centre to find the thing for you. We run on the 3rd Saturday of the month, rain hail or shine, so lock in your next trip to Creswick Market today!
