Get into the festive spirit in the merry and medieval surroundings of GHT as we launch our first ever Christmas Makers Market!

Whether you’re looking for a handmade, bespoke present for a loved one, are searching for a fun stocking filler or even fancy a treat for yourself, from jewellery to prints, ceramics and homewares, the Christmas Makers Market is the perfect place to do some Christmas shopping and find a truly unique selection of artisan gifts all lovingly handmade by local makers and artists.

You can also get cosy and shelter from the wintry weather in the GHT Cafe & Bar, where we will be serving a festive selection of food and refreshments, from merry mulled wine to warming hot drinks including our delicious vegan hot chocolate from Peaberry Coffee, and indulgent bakes from Southampton favourite Hoxton Bakehouse. The Southampton Ukulele Jam will also be performing some festive classics in the GHT Cafe on Saturday 18th December from 2-3pm.
