A curated two-day winter makers' market of more than 40 independent designers and makers in the Warehouse at Fruitmarket gallery, beside Waverley Station.

Endless Love Creative, which runs makers' markets in Sheffield, Newcastle and Edinburgh, holds its Edinburgh winter market at Fruitmarket, the contemporary art gallery on Market Street next to Waverley Station.

More than 40 makers take part over the weekend, a few of them on one day only. Expect illustration and prints, ceramics, jewellery, knitwear, embroidery and homeware. Some makers also run paid craft workshops, such as pottery, perfume blending, embroidery and bookbinding.

The 2026 market is on Saturday 5 and Sunday 6 December, 10am to 5pm (last entry 4.30pm), in the ground-floor Warehouse, entered from Market Street or through the café. Tickets cost £2, cover both days and can be bought on the door by card only; under-18s go free. Only assistance dogs are allowed. The organiser suggests coming at opening time or after 3pm for a quieter visit.
