A goth and alternative shopping event for the whole family, bringing together local small businesses selling art, taxidermy, clothing, jewellery, baked goods and more.
An Alternative Christmas Market comes to The Briggait on Saturday 5 December, a goth and alternative shopping event for the whole family. It brings together local small businesses selling art, taxidermy, clothing, jewellery, baked goods and more, so it's a good spot if you're looking for something a bit different to the usual high street run-up to Christmas.
The mix of stalls is what gives it the 'alternative' tag. You'll find clothing and jewellery alongside art and taxidermy, and there are bakes to pick up as well. It's a gathering of local small businesses rather than a corporate affair, so the things on the tables are made and curated by the people running the stalls. If you're shopping for people who lean towards the goth or alternative side of things, this is exactly the kind of place you'd want to be.
It's billed as a family event, so it's as much about spending the afternoon there as it is about the shopping. The Briggait is right in the city centre, easy to get to on foot or by public transport, and the market runs from midday until 5pm, which gives you plenty of time to wander through without having to rush. If you're heading in with kids, under 12s get in free.
