Festive Makers Market

The Festive Makers Market is on at Edinburgh Open Workshop on Sunday 29 November, with more than 20 local artists and makers gathered under one roof in Leith. It's a day for hand-crafted goods, and it forms part of the Leith Creative Trail, a route map of creative happenings across the area.

If you've never been, the venue itself is worth a look. The Edinburgh Open Workshop is an open-access space that provides affordable bays and machinery for metalwork, painting, carpentry and textiles, so the market is held in the same place where a lot of the work is actually made. That's the whole point of the day: celebrating artists and makers based right here in the city.

It's not just about the stalls, either. There are free children's workshops running throughout the day, and you can pick up coffee, hot chocolate and cake while you browse. Planet G will be there with vegan street food, so it works as a proper afternoon out rather than just a quick stop. If you're coming with kids, the workshops give them something to do while you have a proper look around.

It's at Edinburgh Open Workshop, 39-41 Assembly Street, Leith, EH6 7BQ, on Sunday 29 November. Entry is free, and the children's workshops are too.
