Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

When visit Creswick several times a year and try to ensure our visit is when the market is on.
Stall holders constantly change and its an interesting enough market to wander around.
The hall is where all the crafts made by locals are located.
One can get fresh produce, wine, food stalls and lots more.
The great thing is one is supporting locals in the area.

Creswick Market took me by surprise on just how beautiful is was. Set amongst the grounds of a church, quite a large number of stalls were sprinkled through the leafy grounds on a warm autumnal morning.
There was something for everyone here. Food, fresh produce, Knick knacks, crafts, handmade pickles and even a lovely stall selling products to support stray cats.
The market is wheelchair accessible and kid friendly. Good parking across the road. Donation at entrance not compulsory but a nice gesture.
Food available if you’re after a bite to eat or a cuppa. Bring your own reusable cup.
Soak up everything that Creswick has to offer.
Enjoy.

Mostly food, we purchased eggs (the best eggs Creswick Open Range Farm Eggs) - , bread, wine, cheese, fudge, capers. Few collectables stalls and some craft. The most friendly stall holders I’ve seen at any market.

We spent several hours at this market after breakfast at the nearby RACV Goldfields Resort where we were staying.
Market runs from 9am to 1pm every second Saturday of the month.
We found the stallholders extremely friendly and had good conversations with several of them including a lovely Filipino couple who make scones onsite.
I also found out from the stallholders that what you sell you must make yourself.
The craft products, food for sale and produce are all locally made by the stallholders.
Its a shame we had already eaten as there was lots of great food options including paella, bakery, vegan pies and soups, and the list goes on.
There was also several buskers playing music.
In the future we intend to move to this lovely area ands would then be regular visitors to this market.

This lovely little market is well situated to provide lots of interest, and plenty of shade for the hot day of our visit.
We especially enjoyed the scones cooked on site.
A special treat was the education on composting from the 'resident gardener', who obviously missed his calling as a comedian.

I took some friends visiting from Scotland to see a Victorian Country Market - Creswick Market. It was fabulous. The stall holders were exceptionally friendly and happy. The environment was inviting. The market was a really happy experience.
