About the Winter Makers Market

Across God’s House Tower and Tower House, discover work from 100+ independent artists and makers, bringing together a vibrant mix of original artwork, ceramics, jewellery, prints, textiles, homeware and beautifully handmade gifts.

Whether you’re looking for something special for someone else or a little treat for yourself, the Winter Makers Market is a chance to shop directly from local creatives and discover work you won’t find on the high street.

Late Night Fridays: New for 2026!

Join us on Friday evenings for a festive late-night shopping experience.

With the market open until 9:30pm, Fridays are a chance to browse the stalls at a more relaxed pace, meet artists and makers, enjoy music and get together with friends, family and colleagues as we head into the festive season.

Come along for a bit of Christmas shopping, stay for a drink, catch up with friends and celebrate the end of the year with Southampton’s creative community.
