A ticketed Christmas market and festive village over two December weekends at Jupiter Artland, the contemporary sculpture park in the grounds of Bonnington House west of Edinburgh.

Jupiter Artland is a sculpture park and gallery set in the grounds of Bonnington House at Wilkieston, west of Edinburgh. For two weekends in December it holds a Christmas market with handmade gifts, original art, crafts and festive food from Scottish makers and artisans.

The ticket covers more than the market: there is a festive village with a live Nativity and choir performances, a daily elf workshop for children in the MAKE studio, and access to the sculpture park and its current exhibition. Santa's grotto, wreath-making workshops and swimming (in the heated Gateway pool or a cold plunge) are booked as extras.

In 2026 it runs Friday to Sunday on two weekends, 10am to 4pm, and visitors can arrive at any time within those hours. Tickets are sold in advance.
