Pentridge Makers Market: A Unique Craft and Food Experience

About the Market

Discover a craft and food market set in the historic grounds of the infamous Pentridge Prison, now transformed into a vibrant public space. Instead of heading to the prison’s H division, you’ll explore the modern Piazza, a newly developed retail precinct framed by the iconic bluestone walls of the “Big House.”

Enjoy daily prison tours and take the opportunity to browse our unique market stalls, offering a variety of crafts, foods, and artisanal goods. This is more than just a market; it’s a chance to immerse yourself in history while enjoying a modern shopping experience. Missing out would be a crime!
