Is Queen Victoria Market open on Christmas Day 25/12/2018.
Hi Christine,
Looking at the Christmas trading hours, it doesnt appear that any information has been released for this year just yet.
Although last year the market was closed on the day, it also happened to be on a day the market is closed anyway.
All i can suggest is check back closer to the day to see if any new information has been released.
Thanks
Michael
Is Queen victoria market open on New year day (01/01/2019)?
Best regards,
Jan
Hi Jan,
There isn’t much information on the Queen Victoria Market website that mentions New Years Day.
The only thing it states is “The Market is open on most public holidays. Please check the website closer to the public holiday for operating times”.
I have seen on Tripadvisor that someone mentioned it was closed on New Years Day, but i couldn’t see any other sources of this. So as the official website mentions, i would suggest checking back closer to the end of the year.
Thanks
Michael
Is QVM open on 12/24 2018? its on monday. if so, what time?
Hi Laras,
Unless there is a special event or unique trading hours specific for Christmas Eve, the market is closed every Monday.
The market was open last year on Christmas Eve because it was on a Sunday, but i can’t see anything for this year just yet.
I would suggest checking back later in the year, otherwise you might have to visit on Sunday instead.
Thanks
Michael
