Correction (1 October 2026): an earlier version of this page listed six Sunbury markets, with stall counts, street-food stalls, budgets and “insider tips”, that we could not match to any organiser or council listing, and it said every option had been tested in person. That was not true. The page has been rewritten from scratch: every market below was checked against its organiser’s or council’s own page on 1 October 2026, and nothing from the old page was kept.
Market day in Sunbury is thinner than it used to be. The Rotary Club of Sunbury’s monthly market ran for more than 20 years, and a notice sent from the club’s email address in January 2026 told a listings site it no longer runs. That leaves one regular market inside the suburb, a Friday twilight market at the indoor sports centre, plus a big street festival in November. Hume City Council’s own events calendar listed no regular farmers’ market in Sunbury when we searched it on 1 October 2026.
So the rest of this list goes for a short drive: a third-Sunday wellness market in Bulla, then the farmers’ and craft markets of the Macedon Ranges, where the council’s tourism site lists a market every weekend from September to November 2026. Riddells Creek and Woodend both have stations on the same V/Line line that stops at Sunbury. No stallholder names, no stall prices, no guessed hours: just the day, the place and the hours each organiser publishes.

Sunbury Indoor Market — 63 Vineyard Road, Sunbury VIC 3429
The one regular market we could verify inside Sunbury, and it is under a roof. The organiser, Sunbury Indoor Sports, describes a “Monthly Twilight Market every 2nd last Friday of the Month” with “around 40 to 50 stalls” on its LocalStalls listing. An independent western-suburbs guide lists handmade products, gifts, collectables, new and second-hand goods, clothing, plants, homewares and food trucks. One catch: the organiser’s listing gives the next date as Friday 16 October, but the second-last Friday of October is the 23rd, and that guide lists the 23rd. The listing’s own header says “3rd Friday”, and 16 October is the third Friday. In November and December the organiser’s dates (20 November and 18 December) do follow the second-last-Friday rule, though that guide lists 27 November instead.
Market day: one Friday a month, twilight: the second-last Friday by the organiser’s description, the third by its listing header. The organiser’s listing gives no start or finish time; the West Melbourne and Beyond guide lists 6pm to 9pm for its 2026 dates.
Cash or card: not stated.
The move: check the market’s Facebook page in the week before you go, and lock in the date.
Sunbury StreetLife Festival — O’Shanassy and Brook Streets, Sunbury VIC 3429
Not a monthly market, but what its organisers call “Sunbury’s biggest street bash”. It is a free, volunteer-run street festival across O’Shanassy and Brook Streets, and its organisers list live music, food and market stalls, children’s activities and a raffle; its FAQ promises “a variety of cafes, restaurants, and food trucks throughout the event”. Pets on leads or in carriers are welcome. The festival says it is a short walk from Sunbury station.
Market day: Sunday 22 November 2026, 10am to 4pm.
Cash or card: the organisers say to bring “cash or card for purchases”.
The move: leave the car at home and walk up from the station.
Bohemian Bulla Market — 5 Green St, Bulla VIC 3428
First stop out of town, and the market’s own page puts Bulla 12 minutes from Sunbury by Uber. It is a different kind of market: the organisers pitch it at “alternative healing modalities, psychic, readings and beautiful local handmade & imported products”, with stalls selling crystals, organic skin products, clothing, jewellery and holistic pet food, plus food vendors, buskers and workshops you book ahead. Entry is free, toilets and workshops are inside the hall, and pets are welcome. The September market was called off for predicted high winds, so check on the morning.
Market day: third Sunday of the month except January, June, July and August, 9am to 3pm. Listed 2026 dates: 18 October, 15 November and 20 December.
Cash or card: some stallholders carry portable EFTPOS, and the market’s own page points to an ATM at the BP service station on Bulla Road.
The move: no car? The market’s own page lists the 479 bus from Sunbury to Bulla.
Riddells Creek Farmers’ Market — Riddells Creek Primary School, 69-77 Main Road, Riddells Creek VIC 3431
An accredited farmers’ market up the V/Line from Sunbury, held at the primary school; the Victorian Farmers’ Markets Association gives its location as Memorial Drive, near the school. A market directory lists what turns up: beef, lamb, pork, seasonal fruit and veg, honey, olives and olive oil, eggs, walnuts, bread, pastries, fresh pasta, wine, jams and preserves, plus a community barbecue. It is plastic-bag free. Forget your bags and the council’s tourism site says reusable calico bags are $4. Riddells Creek station is on the same V/Line Bendigo line that stops at Sunbury.
Market day: third Saturday of the month, 9am to 1pm. Next listed: Saturday 17 October and Saturday 21 November 2026. December listings differ (the council notes a twilight market), so check that month.
Cash or card: not stated.
The move: bring your own bags and keep the $4 for the stalls.
Gisborne Olde Time Market — Aitken and Hamilton Streets, Gisborne VIC 3437
The big one. The market’s own site counts 150 stalls along the service roads of Aitken and Hamilton Streets: handmade craft, artisanal jam, fresh produce, clothing, accessories and jewellery, with food and coffee to keep you going. It grew out of the Gisborne Ambulance Auxiliary, formed in 1975: after the auxiliary’s first fundraiser came up short, the local police sergeant suggested a market in the garden of Macedon House, and it went monthly from there. A not-for-profit, the GREAT Association, runs it now. Its visitor rules say no animals other than assistance animals, and the market is cancelled on days rated Catastrophic for fire danger in the Central District.
Market day: first Sunday of every month except January, 9am to 2pm. Listed 2026 dates include 4 October, 1 November and 6 December.
Cash or card: not stated.
The move: first Sunday of the month, from 9am. Leave the dog at home.
Woodend Community Farmers’ Market — Corner of Forest and High Streets, Woodend VIC 3442
Run by the Macedon Ranges Sustainability Group and accredited with the Victorian Farmers’ Markets Association. The organiser lists fruit, vegetables, meat, bread, wine, coffee, honey, cheese and eco-friendly household goods, plus hot food and live music where possible. Three extras make it more than a shop: a Home Produce Exchange swap table for backyard growers, the Wash Against Waste trailer, and the Woodend Repair Café, open every market day in the Undercroft at the Woodend Neighbourhood House. Woodend station is on the same V/Line line as Sunbury.
Market day: first Saturday of every month, 9am to 1pm. Next listed: Saturday 3 October, 7 November and 5 December 2026.
Cash or card: not stated.
The move: make it a two-market weekend: Woodend on the first Saturday, Gisborne on the first Sunday.
Macedon Village Farmers’ Market — 67 Smith Street, Macedon VIC 3440
The rare one. It only runs on a month’s fifth Saturday, four times a year, on the grounds of Macedon Primary School. The council’s tourism site calls it an extension of the Woodend market, with many of the same stallholders, and says the school puts any funds raised into its landcare project. Missed Woodend at the start of the month? This is the catch-up.
Market day: fifth Saturday of the month, 9am to 1pm. Next listed: Saturday 31 October 2026, then Saturday 30 January 2027.
Cash or card: not stated.
The move: put Saturday 31 October in the diary now. The next one is not until January.

Markets you may have heard of
Sunbury Village Market / Sunbury Community Market. The Rotary Club of Sunbury’s market ran for more than 20 years under several names, most recently on the second Saturday of the month at the Salvation Army on Anderson Road. A cancellation notice sent from the club’s email address and published by OnlyMelbourne on 31 January 2026 says: “This market no longer runs”. The market pages on the club’s own website no longer load.
Sunbury Twilight Market. The Sunbury Business Association called for stallholders for a Twilight Market on Friday 1 May 2026. Its Markets page showed no later date on 1 October 2026.
Sunbury Fresh Produce Market and Sunbury Artisan Market. These names appeared on the earlier version of this page. We found no organiser, council or market-directory listing for either, so they are not included.

The Rotary Club of Sunbury’s monthly market, which ran for more than 20 years under several names, has stopped. A cancellation notice sent from the club’s email address and published by OnlyMelbourne on 31 January 2026 says: “This market no longer runs”.

Two run monthly: the Gisborne Olde Time Market on the first Sunday (except January), 9am to 2pm, and the Bohemian Bulla Market at 5 Green St, Bulla on the third Sunday (except January, June, July and August), 9am to 3pm. The Sunbury StreetLife Festival is on Sunday 22 November 2026, 10am to 4pm.
Is there a farmers’ market near Sunbury?
Yes, in the Macedon Ranges: Riddells Creek (third Saturday) and Woodend (first Saturday) are accredited farmers’ markets, both 9am to 1pm, and Macedon Village runs on a month’s fifth Saturday, four times a year. Hume City Council’s events calendar listed no regular farmers’ market in Sunbury on 1 October 2026.
What markets are on near Sunbury in October 2026?
Of the markets on this list: Woodend on Saturday 3 October, Gisborne on Sunday 4 October, Riddells Creek on Saturday 17 October, Bulla on Sunday 18 October and Macedon Village on Saturday 31 October, as listed by each market or the council on 1 October 2026. The Sunbury Indoor Market lists Friday 16 October, though its own description points to the 23rd.
Can I get to these markets without a car?
V/Line Bendigo line trains stop at Sunbury, Riddells Creek and Woodend, so those two farmers’ markets are a train ride from Sunbury station. The Bohemian Bulla Market’s own page lists the 479 bus from Sunbury, and the StreetLife Festival says it is a short walk from Sunbury station.
How we checked
On 1 October 2026 we read each market’s organiser page or its council listing and copied the day, place and hours as published: the Sunbury Indoor Sports listing on LocalStalls, the Sunbury StreetLife Festival’s own site, the Bohemian Bulla Market’s own site, the Gisborne Olde Time Market’s site and visitor rules, the Macedon Ranges Sustainability Group’s Woodend page, and Macedon Ranges Shire Council’s markets table and Visit Macedon Ranges pages. Each market’s place was confirmed at a second, independent website. We searched Hume City Council’s events calendar for markets in Sunbury and read the Rotary Club of Sunbury’s site. We read pages in full, not search-result summaries. Where an organiser does not publish hours or payment details, we say so rather than guess. Train lines are from each station’s Wikipedia entry. The earlier version of this page was not used as a source for anything. Market dates move, and wind, rain and fire-danger days can cancel outdoor markets, so check the organiser’s page or social media on the day. The photos are illustrative, from Unsplash: they show the kind of stall, not the markets named here.
