Location
Tips & Advice
- Carry some cash along with your cards, because each vendor handles their own sales and not every maker takes the same payment methods.
- Bring a tote bag for your purchases, since you'll be buying from many separate makers spread across the Armory.
- Head for the Durham Centre garage at Morgan and Foster, one block from the Armory, because the venue has no parking lot of its own.
- Leave the dog at home, because only trained service animals are allowed inside the busy indoor market.
- The market is indoors and goes ahead rain or shine, so bad weather won't cancel your holiday shopping trip.
