7 Days in Melbourne (where to find your culture & entertainment this week)

There are so many good things to do in Melbourne this week that I won't waste any more of your time talking about it.

• Dine Out to Help Out
  Don't be confused if a '$2 voluntary donation' appears on your restaurant bill in the next few weeks. Until December 24, participating restaurants will be collecting donations in support of homeless refuges and other local charities. See website for details.
  
  November 9 - December 24

• Craft Market
  The Craft Hatch Emerging Artisans Market features metal and wooden jewellery, leather accessories, books, vintage things, felted clothing, homewares, et cetera. Sure to be a good place to find some unique Christmas gifts. Second Saturday of every month.

  253 Flinders Ln, Level 1 gallery
  
  
• The (bizarrely-dressed) mother of all garage sales
  MTC headquarters are moving and selling their props, costumes, accessories, furniture, old computers, stagecraft and technical equipment. If nothing else, this sale promises to be a really interesting sight.
