Tips from our drivers for Red Hill Community Market
- Check the market’s dates before booking, as it does not run every week.
- Arrive early for the best produce and fewer crowds.
- Combine with a Red Hill winery visit afterwards.
The Red Hill Community Market is one of the longest-running markets on the Mornington Peninsula, held at the Red Hill Recreation Reserve, also known as the Red Hill showgrounds. Stallholders sell local produce, crafts, plants and food, and the market draws visitors from across Melbourne.
People book us to avoid market-day traffic and parking, and to carry home their purchases. Many visitors combine a morning at the market with lunch or a tasting at a Red Hill winery. The showgrounds also host the Red Hill Show and other community events through the year. The market is a favourite outing for older residents too, and many book our wheelchair accessible van so they can browse with a carer and get home without a long walk back to a car. If you buy plants or bulky items, tell the driver at pick-up and we will help load them.
For passengers using wheelchairs, our accessible van and Maxi WAT have four-point restraints and air-conditioning. We accept MPTP cards and NDIS and aged-care accounts, and a carer can come to the market too. Drivers can carry your market bags to the vehicle and see you to your front door.

Questions about taxis to Red Hill Community Market
When is the Red Hill Community Market on?
The market runs on set dates, not every week, and the schedule can change. Please check the market’s own information before booking your taxi, then choose drop-off and pick-up times to suit. Arriving early helps you avoid the busiest part of the morning, and booking ahead is recommended on market days.
Can you take us from the market to a Red Hill winery?
Yes. Many cellar doors are a short drive from the showgrounds. Tell us your plans, and we can book each leg so you can enjoy a tasting without anyone driving. Check the winery’s opening hours first, and tell the driver if you have bags of produce or plants to load.
Where will you drop me off at Red Hill Community Market?
Drop-off and pick-up are at the main entrance or where traffic marshals direct vehicles on the day. We will call if we need to meet you elsewhere.
Can you wait or pick me up after my appointment at Red Hill Community Market?
Yes. Book a return trip with an approximate time, then call or text us when you are ready. Appointments often run late, so we keep return pick-ups flexible.
Is there step-free access at Red Hill Community Market?
We drop you at the main entrance to the showgrounds on market day.
Can I travel in my power wheelchair or scooter?
Yes. Most manual and power wheelchairs fit, and you stay seated in your chair. Tell us the make, width and weight when you book so we send the right vehicle. Mobility scooters can travel when they can be safely restrained — please check with us first.
Can a carer or family member come too?
Yes. Carers, family and assistance animals are welcome. Include everyone in the passenger count so we send a vehicle with enough seats.
How do I pay?
Pay the driver by card or cash, use your Multi Purpose Taxi Program (MPTP) card, or choose "Account / invoice" for NDIS plan managers, aged-care providers and businesses.
