Tips & Advice

  • Use the market for unique gifts, with wool crafts, ceramics and locally produced organic delicacies spread across around 70 stalls from local makers.
  • Leave time beyond the stalls for the choir singing and the Christmas craft activities set up across S:t Eriks torg and Fyris torg.
  • Dress warmly, since you'll be strolling the outdoor squares in early December between the stalls, the choir singing and the craft activities.
  • Entry is free, so it's easy to come back on the second day for anything you missed at the stalls.
  • Makers who want a stall can register their interest now for the 2026 market through the exhibitor interest form.
