Welcome to the Whittlesea Monday Market, a true community market operated by volunteers and a great meeting place for locals, visitors, and families. The Whittlesea Monday Market originally started in Mernda in 1888 with local farmers, driving their stock for sale by horseback. The market is close to the city of Melbourne and offers a friendly country atmosphere. Every Monday from 8:00am to 1:00pm, visitors can find a wide variety of items including plants, gardening advice, food, coffee, and more. There is something for everyone at the Whittlesea Monday Market. The market is free to enter and offers disabled access. There is also a car park, coach parking, family friendly facilities, and a kiosk and parents room.
