Spoke Motorcycle Festival
2026-02-27 - 2026-03-01 | Mayfield Estate, East Coast Tasmania, Mayfield Jetty Rd, Little Swanport, TAS, 7190, Australia
Spoke Motorcycle Festival was born out of a love of motorcycles but even more so, the love of the motorcycle lifestyle. Friendships born from a common interest. If you have nothing at all in common but you ride a motorbike, then you automatically have an understanding of what it’s like to connect with life through riding on two wheels.

Brett went to a motorcycle information evening in Launceston, Tasmania at a local motorcycle company. About 40 people having a few beers sharing their passion and stories of their motorbikes and their two wheeled adventures. “I thought, there has got to be more of this. It’s not just the motorcycle conversations but it’s just bloody good mental health. A group of people connecting through their common passion. Leaving their day to day behind to spend time with like minded people and creating new friendships.

Go on a scavenger hunt around the Market to find out all about the food you eat, how to help the environment and lots of other cool things about your favourite Market.
Along the way you’ll meet our friendly traders who will help you solve the clues and become a member of the South Melbourne Market Explorers Club!
How does it work?

Pick up a clue sheet at the Market Office in Centre Aisle or other locations around the Market.
Carefully read each of the clues.
To answer the questions, you will have to find the right stall. Sometimes there will be one specific trader you need to find, for other questions you can choose your favourite.
On the back of the map you will find the traders grouped together by the kinds of things they sell. Find a trader in the category and look at the coordinates (a coloured letter and a number). On the top and bottom of the map you will find the numbers, and on the sides, the letters. Follow the line down from the number and across from the letter – where they join is where the trader is! This can be tricky, but a grown-up can help.
Once you have solved all the clues, bring your answer sheet to the Market Office to receive your Market Explorers Club Card and members reward!

Market Explorers Club Card rewards
Market Explorer Club members receive a special club reward at the start of each new season (summer, autumn, winter and spring). Bring your card to the Market Office to collect your reward.
