The Wesley Hill Community Market, in Chewton (just 4 minutes drive from Castlemaine) is a true highlight for both locals and visitors seeking a unique market experience.
Stop dammit: Don't be tempted to keep driving on by if you are driving from Melbourne. Wesley Hill Market has a vibrant buzzing atmosphere, has a cozy feel while still being large enough that you fell like staying and a really personal charm that you often don't feel at larger markets.

The market boasts a diverse range of stalls, offering everything from fresh produce to artisanal crafts.

Lovely Setting: The Wesley Hill Market unsurprisingly is a market on a hill. What this means is that the natural environment creates a really inviting space. The picturesque rural surroundings of the area and the buzz of friendly market activity when you arrive makes a visit here a very memorable experience.
Some markets are great fun but are quite utilitarian. Wesley Hill Market creates a positive vibe. You just feel a general sense of joy and happiness at this market.

Variety is the spice of life: The market offers a range of artisan crafts, vintage clothing, and handmade goods, making it a treasure trove for those seeking one of a kind finds. From handwoven baskets to intricately designed jewelry, the craftsmanship on display is impressive.

The market also has produce stalls with locally grown fruits, vegetables, nuts and organic products that cater to those who appreciate fresh, high quality ingredients.

Additionally, the market features a selection of homemade preserves, freshly baked goods, and unique food items that reflect the culinary creativity of the region.

Of course stall holders do come and go but there is a good variety and if anything, a few more food vendors would be nice.
Laid back country feel: The Wesley Hill Market has a genuine sense of community and overall positive vibe. There is an energy at this market that feels organic that definitely elevates this market above the usual market experience. People just seem so happy and relaxed here and I guess getting out of town albeit only 4 minutes drive away makes this place feel that little bit more special.

Live music and community: What sets the Wesley Hill Community Market apart from many others is the sense of community it fosters. It's more than just a place to shop - it's a social hub where locals catch up, visitors feel welcomed, and musicians often perform live, adding to the lively atmosphere.
