Flowerfield Christmas Craft Market 2025

10 September 2025

Deadline: September 19, 2025

Professional makers are now invited to apply to be part of the Flowerfield Christmas Craft Market from 15 November to 23 December.

The Flowerfield Christmas Craft Market takes place indoors in the atmospheric ground floor galleries in the beautiful Georgian house front of the arts centre looking out across the park. It showcases high quality handmade contemporary crafts and artisan food producers, from ceramics to glass, jewellery design to textiles, woodcraft to handmade decorations, homeware to stocking fillers, prints, knits and paintings. It promotes makers from all across Northern Ireland.

In 2024, the market saw the highest market footfall yet and generated gross sales of over £42,000, the largest turnover to date. Flowerfield are excited for this year’s market, which really has become a Christmas shopping destination.

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

You do not have to stay with your stall. The Flowerfield team manages all sales and stock notifications for you. That’s almost six weeks of sales potential without the costs of staffing or your time.

  • Flowerfield will notify all applicants by Friday 3 October, 5pm
