Christmas craft market with more than 35 local craft businesses, handmade jewellery, pottery and textiles, on a donation basis at Hull Minster.
Hull Minster hosts its Christmas Craft Market on Saturday 21 November, with more than 35 local craft businesses gathered under one roof. It's run by the Minster Crafters, a local community of makers, so you're buying directly from the people who actually made the things. You'll find handmade jewellery, pottery, textiles and other pieces, and you can chat with the artisans behind them while you look around. It's a family-friendly setting, dogs are welcome, and there are refreshments at the Minster cafe.
The market takes place inside Hull Minster, which the organisers call 'the most beautiful building in town'. It sits at the heart of Hull's historic Old Town and has been part of the town's footprint since the late 13th century. From the outside, it's best seen from Trinity Square to the west, where reflective pools frame the building. Inside, the history goes back just as far: there's the William Wilberforce marble font from around 1380, stained-glass windows that tell biblical stories, and a gold-leaf detailed nave and chancel roof. You'll also find floor carvings dedicated to notable local people and seven Thompson mice hidden among more than a hundred unique oak carvings on the pews.
