Correction (3 October 2026): an earlier version of this page listed places and details we could not stand behind. It has been rewritten from scratch: every place below was confirmed at two independent sources on 3 October 2026, and every price was copied from the page it was published on.
Cheapest first, always: entry to one of the two markets on this page is a gold coin, according to its organiser, and the cinema prices are printed in full further down. Six places are listed for a weekend in and around Tottenham: two farmers markets, a cinema, two bookshops and a bakery.
None has an address in Tottenham. Two are in West Footscray, one is in Spotswood, two are in Yarraville and one is in Seddon, and each heading carries the venue’s own suburb. We read each place’s dates and hours on 3 October 2026 and print them as the source words them, because a weekend plan that assumes opening hours falls over on the day. If you’re keen on an itinerary, the last Quick answer builds a Saturday from the listed hours.

SloFo WeFo Farmers Market (Slow Food Melbourne) — Johnson Reserve, 154 Essex St, West Footscray VIC 3012
The organiser, Slow Food Melbourne, lists this market at Johnson Reserve on “Oct 10 2026” from “9:00 am - 1:00 pm”, with a further date on 14 Nov at the same times. Its page says entry is “just a gold coin” and “Furry friends are welcome too—just keep them on a leash!” Only the organiser lists the market: the Maribyrnong council page we read confirms Johnson Reserve, not the market, and prints the reserve as 160 Essex Street where the organiser prints 154. The organiser’s calendar shows two dates and states no recurrence, so we do not assume it runs on any others. It describes the market as waste-free and asks you to bring your own bags, containers and cups.
Free first: entry is “just a gold coin” per the organiser, which makes this the cheapest plan on the page.
Slow Food Spotswood Farmers Market — Spotswood Primary School, 600 Melbourne Rd, Spotswood VIC 3015
Slow Food Melbourne’s calendar lists this market at Spotswood Primary School on “Oct 24 2026” from “9:00 am - 1:00 pm”, and again on 28 Nov at the same times. OpenStreetMap carries it as “Spotswood Slow Food Market”. The organiser’s page does not mention dogs, and we recorded no entry price for this market, so check the page before you go.
Plan it: Saturday 24 October is the date the organiser’s calendar lists first, with 28 November after it.
Sun Theatre — 8 Ballarat Street, Yarraville VIC 3013
The Sun Theatre’s own site says “The Sun Theatre now has 8 Boutique Art Deco Cinemas!” and “Open from 9:30am daily excluding Christmas and ANZAC Day.” It lists “Doggy Day Sessions” with the rule “Dogs must stay on a lead and under control at all times”, though the text we saved lists no session dates, so check the session times page before you plan one. It also lists “bambini sessions” with “dimmed lighting and the volume set a little lower than our standard viewing sessions”, and says “We are licensed inside the cinemas.” The ticket prices are below. The tickets page also carries a note about a booking fee on online purchases, so read it before you buy.
Listed prices (copied from suntheatre.com.au on 3 October 2026):
- Adults, 18 and over: $23.00
- Pensioners, Students or Concession Card Holders: $17.50
- Children and Teens age 3 to 17: $15.00
- Seniors Card and 65+: $15.00
Rain backup: it is a cinema, open from 9:30am per its site, with Adults, 18 and over at $23.00 and Seniors Card and 65+ at $15.00 on the listed prices.
Sun Bookshop — 10 Ballarat Street, Yarraville VIC 3013
Sun Bookshop’s own site lists its hours as “Mon to Thur - 9.30am to 7.30pm Fri & Sat - 9.30am to 8.30pm Sun - 9.30am to 5.30pm”. It says “The Sun Bookshop is accessible via a two step entrance, or with wheelchair access via The Sun Theatre foyer.” The shop sits next door to the cinema in street numbering, so a film and a browse can share one trip. We recorded no prices.
Plan it: Friday and Saturday are its longest listed days, running to 8.30pm.
Seddon Book Alley — 107 Victoria Street, Seddon VIC 3011
On its own site, Seddon Book Alley calls itself a “Generalist, Specialist, Second hand book store” and posts this notice: “Temporary change to trading days During September and October, we will only open on Fridays and Saturdays 10am to 5pm each day”. As of 3 October 2026, OpenStreetMap still shows “Th-Su 10:00-18:00+”; we go with the hours on the shop’s site instead. Its site menu has further entries for rare and collectable books, plus bookbinding repairs. Prices are left out here, since what one title costs is not a menu price.
Plan it: Saturday is the weekend day, 10am to 5pm, while the temporary notice stands.
Inner West Swedish Baker — 549A Barkly Street, West Footscray VIC 3012
The bakery’s own site lists its hours as “Tue–Sun, 7am–2pm” and says “Every Saturday and Sunday, you’ll find the Inner West Swedish Baker at farmers markets across Victoria”, so check where it is trading before you set out. The Kanelbullar (Cardamom & Cinnamon Scroll) is $7.50 and the Chunky Beef & Guinness Pie is $9.50 on its menu, and its site says “Coffee by local Frederick’s Coffee”.
On the menu (copied from innerwestswedishbaker.com.au and innerwestswedishbaker.com.au/savoury-pastries-pies on 3 October 2026):
- Kanelbullar (Cardamom & Cinnamon Scroll): $7.50
- Plain Croissant: $6.00
- Chocolate Chip Cookie: $4.50
- Chunky Beef & Guinness Pie: $9.50
Plan it: a Saturday or Sunday stop before the listed 2pm close, with the Chocolate Chip Cookie at $4.50 the lowest price in the four lines above.
Quick answers
What is the cheapest thing to do on this page?
The SloFo WeFo Farmers Market’s page says entry is “just a gold coin”. We recorded no entry price for the Spotswood market or for the two bookshops. At the Sun Theatre the Children and Teens age 3 to 17 ticket is $15.00 and the Seniors Card and 65+ ticket is $15.00.
Which of these places are open on a Sunday?
Sun Bookshop’s site lists “Sun - 9.30am to 5.30pm”, the Sun Theatre’s says “Open from 9:30am daily”, and Inner West Swedish Baker’s lists “Tue–Sun, 7am–2pm”. Seddon Book Alley’s notice has it opening only on Fridays and Saturdays for now, and the two market dates we found for each market are Saturdays on the organiser’s calendar.
Can I bring a dog?
The SloFo WeFo page says “Furry friends are welcome too—just keep them on a leash!” The Sun Theatre lists “Doggy Day Sessions” with the rule “Dogs must stay on a lead and under control at all times.” The Spotswood organiser’s page does not mention dogs.
What can I fit into Saturday 10 October?
On the listed hours, one order that works is the SloFo WeFo market from “9:00 am - 1:00 pm”, then Sun Bookshop, which lists Friday and Saturday hours to 8.30pm, and a film at the Sun Theatre, open from 9:30am. Seddon Book Alley’s notice has it open 10am to 5pm on Saturdays. We have no travel times between these places, so check the journey on the PTV planner.
