A free weekend Christmas market with more than 70 stalls inside Glasgow's Riverside Museum, the transport museum on the Clyde.

Glasgow Life holds a Christmas market inside the Riverside Museum, Scotland's museum of transport and travel, on the north bank of the Clyde at Partick. More than 70 stalls fill the museum, selling handmade gifts, local crafts and baked goods, all under one roof.

There are seasonal activities outside the museum, and the Dunbartonshire Concert Band gives pop-up performances in the afternoons.

The 2026 market is on Saturday 28 November (10am to 4.30pm) and Sunday 29 November (11am to 4.30pm). Entry is free. The museum car park has only about 100 paid spaces and fills quickly at weekends; Partick station and subway are about 0.6 miles away.
