Step into the festive spirit at our Winter Makers Market, a celebration of creativity and community in the heart of Southampton’s Old Town. The market will take place across God’s House Tower, an award-winning arts and heritage venue, and the ZEST Collective artist studios next door in Tower House.

Discover work from over 100 talented independent creatives. Shop for unique handcrafted gifts and original artwork while supporting local artists and makers. Browse a thoughtfully curated selection of artisan crafts, from ceramics and homeware to handcrafted jewellery and bespoke prints.

Visit Tower House to explore work by local art collective ZEST. Their exhibition, Buffet, showcases pieces by ZEST’s studio artists, as well as additional stalls from local makers. Wander between both venues, meet the artists, and enjoy the friendly, creative atmosphere.

Take a break in GHT’s café bar, where you can unwind with a mulled wine, a hot coffee, or a festive focaccia sandwich.

The Winter Makers Market is your go-to destination for a one-of-a-kind shopping experience, a chance to support local talent and find truly special gifts for your loved ones.

The line-up of artists and makers will change each weekend, so there’s always something new to discover. Bring your family, friends, or just your curious self. It’s the perfect way to celebrate local creativity this winter!
