NESTLED among the rolling hills and towering gums, the Hill & Ridge Community Market is fast becoming a must-visit destination for locals and visitors alike. Held on the first Saturday of each month at the Red Hill Recreation Reserve, the market brings together a variety of stallholders showcasing the very best of the Mornington Peninsula and beyond.
In 2024, the Red Hill Agricultural & Horticultural Society – proud custodians of the Red Hill Show since 1922 – embraced the opportunity to run the monthly market, ensuring it continues to thrive as a celebration of community, creativity and country life.
From artisan breads and cheeses to handmade jewellery, clothing and homewares, there is something to delight every shopper. You’ll also find gourmet street food, coffee and sweet treats to enjoy as you wander through the bustling avenues of stalls. And of course, no visit is complete without supporting the local Scouts at their legendary scone stall, or grabbing a bacon and egg roll freshly cooked by the Red Hill Football and Netball Club.
The Hill & Ridge Community Market is more than just shopping. It’s a place to meet friends, soak up the atmosphere, enjoy live music, and watch the kids’ faces light up with activities and entertainment. Families, foodies and curious browsers all find their place here.
With free entry, easy onsite parking, and the warmest of community welcomes, it’s the perfect way to spend a Saturday. As the organisers say, it’s all about “good things in the heart of Red Hill.”
The next Hill & Ridge Community Market runs from 9am–2pm on Saturday 1st November at the Red Hill Recreation Reserve.
