Applications are open for Flowerfield Arts Centre’s Christmas Craft Market 2026!

6 August 2026

Professional makers are now invited to apply to be part of the fabulous Christmas Craft Market from 14 November to 23 December – the best festive market on the North Coast!

For almost 6 weeks in the run up to Christmas, the Flowerfield Christmas Craft Market takes place in the ground floor galleries in the beautiful Georgian house part of the arts centre.

It showcases high quality handmade contemporary crafts and artisan food producers – ceramics, glass, jewellery design, textiles, woodcraft, handmade decorations, chocolates, homeware, prints, knits and paintings. It promotes makers from all across Northern Ireland & Ireland. 

“In 2025, the market saw the highest footfall yet and a record turnover of over £50,000. It exceeded all our expectations and is only growing more popular. It’s the stress free Christmas shopping destination.

We welcome applications from professional makers within the Causeway Coast and Glens Borough and from across Northern Ireland and Ireland. Our primary objective is to support and promote professional makers/creatives whose sole income is from their creative work. We particularly welcome applications from new market participants.

As well as the wonderful range of crafts we feature, we’re keen to see crafted and handmade gifts such as; ideas for children & babies; non-perishable foods and special larder items like oils, vinegars, drizzles, jams, chutneys, non-alcoholic drinks; bespoke doggy and pet gifts.”
