Christmas in Wyndham – Twilight Markets

Are you a local maker, designer, artist or small business owner who is market ready for Christmas 2025? 

Wyndham is curating a series of bespoke Christmas markets across three activity centres this Christmas time.

We’re looking for a dynamic and diverse selection of stallholders to join us at the Christmas in Wyndham Twilight Markets.

Not just another Christmas market – Why should you participate?

  • These will be curated especially for local makers in small business.
  • As a bespoke market offering a unique product selection.
  • Wyndham loves supporting small local businesses.

The Twilight Markets will be an evening of festive cheer, entertainment and market stalls, featuring a thoughtfully curated selection of diverse high-quality products and locally made treasures – perfect for teacher’s gifts, secret Santa gifts and other local products for everyone’s festive gifting needs.

We are taking the Twilight Markets on the road so that the wider Wyndham community can benefit from a beautiful festive evening in three special locations: Little Growling Café Mambourin, Hoppers Junction and Station Place in Werribee City Centre.

Come and be a part of something special. Get your applications in now!
