Hanging Rock Craft & Food Market
Enjoy a relaxing day at the picturesque Hanging Rock Craft & Food Market taking place at spectacular Hanging Rock Reserve in the Macedon Ranges. The Macedon Ranges is less than an hour from Melbourne. Woodend is the closest town to Hanging Rock.
With up to 100 market stalls to browse of Australian-made, and Australian-designed goods, including produce and baked items, along with delicious food options on offer, it’s the perfect spot to shop, stroll, and have a picnic in one of Victoria’s most iconic locations. The CFA will also be fundraising on the day.
Entry to Hanging Rock Reserve on the market day is just $10 per car (reduced from the usual $15 per car). Although card payment is available at individual stalls, we highly recommend bringing cash along with you due to the sometimes intermittent signal at Hanging Rock.
In addition to the Hanging Rock Craft & Food Market, visitors can spend the day at Hanging Rock Reserve, enjoying walks, a picnic, or the view from the breathtaking Summit.
