WHAT TO EXPECT

For a limited time we are treated to the late night hours of the Victoria Market. There you can enjoy delicious fresh foods, crackling fires, stalls packed with your favourite goods as well as live entertainment.

The group will meet in front of the Imax building where we will wander the Carlton gardens and enjoy the variety on offer in the gardens before heading over to the Victoria Market as a group. Once we arrive there you are all welcome to explore the market at your own leisure for an hour before we meet at a venue inside the market or a nearby pub (location TBC on the night) and sharing a drink together before walking back to the gardens.

The night won't be too difficult as it is all flat with many times to stop and get those incredible pictures you won't be able to resist. All up there will be roughly 5km covered.

The walk should take us around 2.5 - 3 hours to complete, depending on our pace and includes the lush and varied Carlton Gardens, gorgeous city views, The Royal Exhibition building as well as the Queen Victoria Markets at night which will be full of entertainment and incredible food.

After the Market we will all gather and go to a pub to cap the night off with a nice drink and cheers before heading back to the start of the Gardens.

All ages and fitness levels are welcome to this event.
