The Nunawading Market is an Art & Craft market which has been operating since 1985 and, in White Hat's opinion, the quality of the offerings has continued to rise over time. The market is based on the principle of Make it - Bake it - Grow it and features gourmet foods, fresh produce, original art & craft, jewelry, garden products, gifts and baby wear.

There is a special Christmas Market each year in December. In 2019 this will be on 8th December from 1 to 5pm.
