The Queen Victoria Market’s Winter Night Market is a great way to get over ‘hump day’ whether you’re coming straight from the office or taking the family out.

winter night marketMy main tip is to get there as close to 5pm as twilight sets as you can to avoid queueing. Also, at that time it’s relatively easy to find street parking close to the area of the Queen Vic Night Market. When I go with kids I aim for arrival by 4:45pm to get to a close street park.
