Correction (1 October 2026): an earlier version of this page listed six markets in Box Hill North, including a “Box Hill North Weekend Market” and a “Box Hill North Night Market”, with stall counts, hours, prices and tips. We could not find any of them on the council’s market listings or at any organiser. It has been rewritten from scratch, and every market below was checked against its organiser’s or its council’s own current page on 1 October 2026.
Box Hill North has no regular market of its own on its council’s books, so the good news is on its borders. For a weekday shop, the fresh food stores at Box Hill Central, in neighbouring Box Hill, trade inside a centre that opens seven days. For a proper farmers’ market, the Whitehorse Farmers’ Market sets up 8am to 1pm on the second Sunday of every month at the Whitehorse Civic Centre in Nunawading; the next one is Sunday 11 October 2026.
That is not a guess about the suburb. Whitehorse City Council, which looks after Box Hill North, keeps a community directory with a category for farmers and arts markets, and on 1 October 2026 it held exactly one entry for the whole city: the farmers’ market in Nunawading. So this is an honest “in and around” list. Two Whitehorse options first, then two Rotary-run Sunday markets in other council areas: Tunstall Square in Doncaster East, which borders Box Hill North to the north-east, and the flea market at Camberwell Junction, running since 1976.
Omar’s rule for markets: the organiser’s page is the source. Every day and hour below is copied from it, with the date checked.

Box Hill Central — 1 Main St, Box Hill VIC 3128
Not an open-air market, but it is where most “Box Hill market” searches end up. Box Hill Central is a shopping centre and public transport hub built on top of Box Hill station, with a bus terminal and trams stopping on Whitehorse Road. Its fresh food section lists stores including Box Hill Fish Market, Lord Barramundi, Amazing Vegies, Whitehorse Fruit Life, Box Hill Butcher, Hu Hui Supermarket and Tan Hung Asian Grocer. Only Melbourne’s listing calls it an Asian fresh food market, and two of the stores on the centre’s list are Asian grocers.
Market day: seven days. Centre hours are 9am to 5:30pm Monday to Wednesday, 9am to 7pm Thursday, 9am to 9pm Friday, 9am to 5pm Saturday and 10am to 5pm Sunday. The centre’s own warning: “individual store hours may vary”.
Cash or card: not stated.
The move: the fishmongers for a whole fish, but ring the store first: the centre runs to 9pm on Fridays, while each shop sets its own hours.
Whitehorse Farmers’ Market — Whitehorse Civic Centre, 379-399 Whitehorse Rd, Nunawading VIC 3131
The one market Whitehorse Council lists, and the one to plan a Sunday around. Rotarian volunteers have run it every month since 2006: the city’s six Rotary clubs plus the Whitehorse Rotaract Club, with the money going back to the local community. The market’s site counts over 60 vendors from around Victoria selling “direct to you from the farm and the home kitchen”: fruit, vegetables, meat, bread, cakes, pasta, eggs, chutneys and olive oils. It is a plastic-bag-free market, so bring your own.
Market day: second Sunday of the month, 8am to 1pm. Coming up: Sunday 11 October, Sunday 8 November, and the Christmas Market on Sunday 13 December 2026.
Cash or card: not stated.
The move: the bacon and egg sandwich at the Rotary marquee, with a coffee, before you start on the produce.
Tunstall Square Market — Corner Doncaster and Tunstall Road, Doncaster East VIC 3109
Over the Koonung Creek line in Manningham, at the Tunstall Square shopping centre. Manningham Council describes up to 100 stalls of plants, clothing and crafts sold direct to the public, with food and live music from local acts. The Rotary Club of Warrandyte Donvale runs it with local scout troops and Donvale Montessori, and says it has been going since the 1980s. Breakfast is part of the deal: Rotary sells egg and bacon rolls until 8.30am, then a sausage sizzle until 12.30pm.
Market day: last Sunday of the month, 8am to 1pm, February to November. Council’s next dates are Sunday 25 October and Sunday 29 November 2026. No market in January.
Cash or card: not stated.
The move: get there before 8.30am if the egg and bacon roll is the point, then do the plant stalls.
Camberwell Sunday Market — Station Street car park, Camberwell VIC 3124
Balwyn Rotary’s Sunday Market started in August 1976 in the car park at Camberwell Junction and marked 50 years on 30 August 2026. Its own tagline sums up the stalls: retro, antique, collectibles, vintage, craft, music, fashion, food. It sits behind the Burke Road shops, less than 100 metres from Camberwell station, with the 70, 72 and 75 trams running through the Junction.
Market day: every Sunday, 6:30am to 12:30pm, except, in Boroondara Council’s words, “the Sundays occurring 10 days before Christmas Day”. Stallholders stop selling at 12:30pm and the car park is back to cars by 1pm.
Cash or card: a gold coin donation at the entry, as the market asks; stall payments not stated. All sales are final, and the market warns that secondhand electrical goods may be faulty.
The move: a gold coin at the gate and an early start, since stalls pack up at 12:30pm sharp.
Night markets: the Whitehorse twilight series
Searching for a Box Hill night market? Whitehorse City Council’s twilight-markets page describes a series of six markets starting in February, across two spots: Box Hill Mall (Market and Main Street) and Britannia Mall in Mitcham, with street food, sweet treats, artisan makers, local traders and free live music. On 1 October 2026 the council’s Box Hill twilight page could not be opened and the series page listed no further dates, so check Creative Whitehorse before you plan around one.

How we checked
On 1 October 2026 we read each market’s own page, or its council’s page, and copied days, hours and locations exactly as printed: Box Hill Central’s opening-hours and fresh food pages; the Whitehorse Farmers’ Market site, its Whitehorse Council directory entry and the Rotary Club of Mont Albert and Surrey Hills page; Manningham Council’s Tunstall Square Market page and the Rotary Club of Warrandyte Donvale’s market page; and the Camberwell Sunday Market site with Boroondara Council’s market page. Each location was confirmed at two sources on different websites. Neighbouring suburbs are from Wikipedia’s Box Hill North entry; Box Hill Central’s description is from Wikipedia and Only Melbourne. Where two pages disagreed (the Rotary club mentions an extra December date at Tunstall Square, while its own schedule and Manningham Council say no market in December or January), we left the disputed date out. No prices are given because none of these markets publishes stall prices. The photos are illustrative, from Unsplash: they show the kind of market, not these markets.
