The one that started it all. Drums at the Queen Victoria Market was the
first outlet which launched in 1996. The lively and colorful nature of the Queen
Victoria Market complements Drums perfectly.
In its 140 years, the Queen Victoria Market has had a colourful and sometimes
controversial history. During that time, the site has been a cemetery, a livestock
market and a wholesale fruit and vegetable market. Each of these operations has its own
history and an element of controversy.
The Queen Victoria Market was officially opened on 20th March 1878, a range of markets
having operated from the site in varying forms prior to that date.
