Winter Arts Markets

About Winter Arts Markets

Our ever-popular Drill Hall Christmas Arts Markets will return in December

As well as our usual Saturday and Sunday markets, due to demand there will once again be an extra market on the Friday evening from 5pm - 9pm. A great chance to grab a beer or a glass of mulled wine and do some early evening Christmas shopping!

Across the three days, over 100 of our hand-picked local independent artists and makers will be selling their work, with different stallholders on each of the three days.

With stalls selling a wide range of goods from paintings, prints and homewares through to jewellery, textiles and ceramics, there’s something for everyone. Each market day will have a different selection of stallholders.

The fully licensed Drill Hall Cafe will be open throughout selling mulled wine, mince pies, teas, coffees and treats.
