Folksy Local Online Christmas Markets

Saturday 27th- Sunday 28th November 2021

This year many of us are thinking about how we can have a more sustainable, environmentally-friendly, Christmas. One option is to buy handmade, locally sourced gifts – and the easiest way to do this is by attending one of Folksy’s regional online Christmas craft markets. Visitors to the online markets will be able to browse and buy original items from stallholders, watch craft demonstrations and see interviews with the makers.
The five online markets are taking place over the weekend of 27-28 November 2021 and can be accessed from https://folksy.com/christmas-markets
