String Bean Alley

String Bean Alley is made up of a series of shipping containers transformed into artist workshops and stalls, establishing a new retail precinct within Queen Victoria Market's historic sheds.

All Melbourne locals, String Bean Alley stall holders includes craftspeople making beautiful bespoke wooden furniture and lighting; accessory designers working with 100% recyclable and unwanted materials such as plastic bottles and vinyl records to lotions, potions, soaps, balms and candles made from soy based products with workshops and demonstrations too. Padre Coffee also joins String Bean Alley, roasting coffee and creating their own blends. 

String Bean Alley trades every Friday, Saturday and Sunday and during the Night Market Season.
