Two free Christmas market weekends at Verdant Works, Dundee's restored jute mill museum: one for art, craft and design, the next for Tayside food and drink.

Verdant Works is a Dundee jute mill dating from 1833, now a museum run by Dundee Heritage Trust. Its Christmas market brings in makers and producers from Dundee, Angus, Fife and Perthshire.

In 2026 the market grows to two weekends. The first (21–22 November) is for art, craft and design, with local choirs and musicians performing. The second (28–29 November) is for food, drink and homeware, with more than 20 food and drink brands from Tayside and the rest of Scotland, so it's a good place to fill a Christmas hamper.

Both weekends are free to enter and open 11am to 4pm. The museum's café serves a Christmas menu, and the mill's industrial heritage displays are next door.
