Why you must attend the Christmas Urban Markets in Dundee this year
Not to bang on too much about Christmas too early, but the two-part Christmas Urban Market event heading to Dundee this November and December promises far too many festive treats for us to ignore.
Urban Market are a successful and popular textile design/events organisation. Their event last year in Dundee was a huge success, so we’re thrilled that it’s back for 2018.

So, what does the Urban Market have to offer?
The urban market is a curated market, so all products are of extremely high quality. Plus, all traders are local to Dundee and surrounding areas, making the event feel extra community friendly.
Equipped with: original art, lighting, furniture, food, antiques, illustrations, candles, photography, creatives, retailers, artisan coffee, AND EVEN MORE, this event is perfect for networking with fellow creatives, or simply enjoying Christmas shopping, fresh food, drink, and all of the intricate artwork that the market has to offer.
Market workshops include:
A ceramic workshop, a candle making workshop, a puppet making workshop, a stencils workshop, a children’s workshop… and even more.
There will also be a cafe takeover from Dundee’s renowned Parlour Cafe, as well as a bar (serving wine, beer, gin, and more).
