Saturday craft and food markets spread across several venues in Oban town centre, held as part of the volunteer-run Oban Winter Festival.
The Oban Winter Festival runs from mid-November to mid-December with lights, music, a finale concert and community events, and its craft and food markets are a central part of it. On three November Saturdays, makers, food producers, independent businesses and community groups from Oban, Argyll and the Isles take stalls at several venues around the town centre.
In 2026 the markets are at Corran Halls (the largest space, on the seafront), the Rockfield Centre (a restored Victorian school) and the Perle Oban Hotel. Expect handmade crafts, gifts, local food and produce, with local schools and charities among the stallholders.
Other festive markets are listed in the festival programme, including a German-style Christmas market at a nearby hotel and markets at Oban Distillery in 2025, but these are run by the individual venues.
