Overview
The team behind St Kilda East's perennially popular Hank Marvin Market is adding to the family, opening a second permanent market site at Dendy Park next month.
Running weekly from October 14, Hank Marvin 2.0 is destined to become one of the Bayside's new go-to Sunday sessions, dishing up a smorgasbord of eats, drinks, shopping and entertainment for all the family. Here, punters young, old and canine can expect the same sort of winning weekend formula that's earned the original Saturday market such a cult following.
Living up to its name — Hank Marvin is a play on British Cockney slang for 'starving' — there'll be a globe-trotting lineup of culinary delights, both from familiar food truck favourites like Toasta, Connie's Pizza and Sparrow's Philly Cheesesteaks, and from exciting newcomers like Bao x Waffle and The Gozleme Station.
Artisanal food stalls, slinging everything from sourdough to sorbet, will sit alongside those selling homewares and gifts. There'll be coffee from the likes of Hallelujah Coffee to fuel your day, plus fresh-pressed juices and a pop-up bar stocked with craft beers and ciders.
And while the littlies get stuck into some face-painting, grown-ups can kick back with a burger, a brew and some tunes served up by the day's selection of local DJs.
Hank Marvin Market Dendy Park kicks off on Sunday, October 14, at 306 Dendy Street, Brighton East. Catch it from 9am-3pm each Sunday, or the original at Alma Park East, St Kilda East, from 9am–3pm each Saturday.
