The Big Design Market Melbourne 2023

After 10 years of running The Big Design Market in Melbourne, we’re thrilled to be launching our brand new event ‘Almost Winter’ in May 2023 which will be the ultimate splash of hedonism as we head into the colder months. This will be followed by our famous Christmas market held on the first weekend of December. Both events will be a celebration of designers, retailers and distributors of fine independent design products.
