Due to the pandemic, the popular market was unable to take place in 2020. This year, a pre-booking system has been introduced to allow shoppers to arrange their visit with no more than four shoppers during each hour-long slot.

This approach is ideal for small groups or individuals who want to shop in an uncrowded space, allowing you space and time to browse the beautiful items on offer.

To deliver the Market with safety in mind, there a few changes to how the event will run this year. Visitors should adhere to two metre social distancing and practice good hand and respiratory etiquette. Everyone is asked to wear a face covering, except for those who are exempt.

To manage social distancing and Track & Trace organisers invite all shoppers to pre-book online, over the counter at Flowerfield or by calling us on 028 7083 1400 to plan your one-hour shopping slot.

The Christmas Craft Market runs from Saturday, November 20 to Thursday, December 23 every Tuesday 10am – 4pm, Wednesday and Thursday 10am – 4pm and 7pm – 9pm, Friday 10am – 3pm and Saturday 10am – 4pm.
