Participants will be exhibiting with a range of fantastic professional arts and crafts including ceramics, glass, jewellery, textiles, foods, decorations, art and much more.

A special launch event will take place on Saturday, November 19 featuring a Twilight Market in partnership with Naturally North Coast and Glens. Alongside the fantastic range of artisan items, visitors can enjoy homemade cakes cuisine, treats and gourmet coffee - all against a backdrop of yuletide music and festive arts activities. It’s an evening not to miss!

The Christmas Craft Market will continue until December 22, and will be a one-stop shop for those seeking a unique, handmade gift.
