Tips & Advice
- Visit on a weekday if you prefer more room to browse: the market reports 400–700 visitors per hour then, compared with 800–1,400 on weekends.
- Consider returning in another week, because most exhibitors rotate weekly and later visits can bring a fresh selection of makers and goods.
- Take advantage of free admission to drop in more than once during the market’s opening period, especially if you want to see different exhibitors.
- Chat with exhibitors at their stalls to hear about the stories and craft behind the products.
- Save time for the café between browsing, with hot drinks, æbleskiver, sandwiches, cakes, and rice pudding available.

Frequently Asked Questions
What kind of things can I buy?
The market sells handmade crafts, from current trends to old craft traditions passed down through generations. You won't find these goods in the shops around town. Newer stalls also include entrepreneurs such as home brewers, game makers and gold upcyclers.
Is it worth coming back more than once?
Yes. Most of the 80 exhibitors change from week to week, so there are new goods on the shelves each time, and you can come back as often as you like during the season.
Who runs the stalls?
The makers run their own stalls, so you can chat with them about their work before you buy.
What food and drink is there?
The café serves warm gløgg, coffee and cocoa, æbleskiver, classic rice pudding, several freshly baked cakes and sandwiches, with Christmas music playing.
Can I rent a stand as a vendor?
Artists, designers, craftspeople and entrepreneurs can apply, and all their goods have to meet the market's rules, such as being homemade. This season is sold out, but you can still apply to join the waiting list.
