Overview

Even if you've lived in Melbourne for years, you can always discover new things in nooks and crannies around the city. Blender Lane is the perfect example of one such nook. Housed just off Franklin Street this cramped little alley — even by Melbourne laneway standards — is an epicentre of the city's famous street art scene, and home to this weekly market every Wednesday night.

The market was launched by the acclaimed Blender Studios, whose artists have played a vital role in cementing the place of street art in the city’s folklore as well as giving birth to iconic labels like Everfresh. Together with artists' stalls there’s also live music on offer each night, and with the wares on offer ranging from handcrafted wallets to bespoke fashion it's the perfect place to track down a Christmas present for those particularly artsy friends or family members.
