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.

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.
