Maybe the classification is not as appropriate as a Antique store. I would count it more as a bazaar with many stores spread out over the warehouse space.
I went there on a day that it was raining, and noted that there were leaks coming in through the roof.
I also noted that the prices were quite high, however the staff seemed quite willing to barter which could be attractive to the penny savers. read more
Wow! This place blew my expectations!
Here I was thinking it would be a simple farmers market but it's actually like the worlds biggest antiques store crossed with garage sales crossed with mini stalls of cool vintage items and various products!
I got my brother this cool vintage style cushion with a French bulldog on it for his couch!
There are plenty of second hand books and comics as well as a large cafe at the exit.
This place could easily take 3 hours for the serious shopper. One thing I will say is that they know their prices and the value of most things so if you are looking for a "diamond in the rough" - good luck! But if you are looking for something kitsch, cool and collectible for your house than this may be the place for you! read more
The Mill Market is huge! It's the sort of place you could spend hours in yet still breeze through easily enough. There's even a cafe on site so you can take a break if you get a little overwhelmed.
There's plenty to look at and each store varies in the style of wares they're selling. There're heaps of art deco items to get your hands on and you can buy anything from lights, tupperwear and small ornaments to clothing and retro furniture. There're even a few new handmade items for sale.
Prices vary from very affordable to pretty pricey depending on what you're looking at but the staff are there to swoop on you like eagles as soon as you've selected an item to take it to the counter so it's waiting for you and you don't have to lug it about through the whole warehouse. I only wish they had some more MCM style stuff.
If you're in Daylesford, this place is definitely worth a look at! read more
As markets go this place is worth going. Unlike some pretentious farmer's markets that end up charging high prices for food. The food prices are decent. For example you get a large Baguette sandwich with either herbed mushrooms or perscuito for $9 bucks with stacks of freshly melted cheese. Literally they have a machine that melts the cheese and then they scrap that melted goodness into your baguette. The price are good even the place that sells bulk nuts and snacks, I could resist buying the hotel mix an dates because the price was good. For some reason a lot of vendors were selling Gardening and hardware tools.. Darlysford must have a surplus of second hand tools? I will definitely day trip drive to attend this market again. read more
Nice snacks. Their scones are huge. Had a chocolate milkshake and a chocolate mint ball. Good place for a bite after you've looked at all the antiques. read more
