Introducing the "MNB Winter Craft Market"

The aim is simple: to bring a unique, creative and community-focused Christmas market to Edinburgh, creating a wonderful and welcoming experience for visitors throughout an entire weekend of festive celebrations. At the heart of the event will be everything MNB stands for: championing independent makers, artists and creatives and providing a platform for genuinely handmade work. The market will be a 100% handmade zone, with no mass-produced dropshipping and no AI-generated products. Visitors will have the opportunity to discover original work, meet the people who make it and support independent creative businesses directly.

Edinburgh certainly isn't short of Christmas markets. But in a city full of mass-produced gift Christmas Markets and things you could probably find online, we want to be different. This year, MNB and OOTB Drill Hall are bringing the focus back to real people making real things.

We want to create an alternative Christmas market where you can support small, buy unique, and enjoy the festivities while discovering the incredible creativity that exists right here in the community. Whether Edinburgh is the place you call home or you're visiting for the festive season, we would love you to make MNB Winter Craft Market part of your Christmas weekend.
