Greville Village Market

Weekends in Melbourne are already impressively packed with markets, but held on the first and third Sunday of the month, Greville Village Market is the latest addition to the lineup. Set in Grattan Gardens, just off Chapel Street in Prahran, the market is focused on independent and emerging designers. At the moment they're looking to add to a collection of stall holders before they return from a summer break on January 19.

The offerings in December included homemade ginger ale, handcrafted children's toys, brooches, jewellery, terrariums and furniture. Also, they have the sort of locally designed clothing that makes you want to buy lots of things, dress immaculately and go on wonderful holidays forever.

This isn't the sort of market where you slop around with a sausage sizzle. Just before Christmas there were lobster sliders on the menu, with a pop-up cafe from Pardon Coffee. Greville Village Market is the market version of that friend who seems to have their shit together on Instagram. Both exist in a world full of spectacularly made coffee, ethical chocolate and well-dressed friends. What a nice way to spend a Sunday.
