Cardiff Christmas Shopping
A six-week Christmas market in Cardiff city centre
Cardiff Christmas Market returns from Thursday 12 November to Wednesday 23 December 2026, bringing a changing line-up of independent exhibitors into the heart of the city.
The event is organised by CraftFolk and focuses on original work from artists, designers, craftspeople and food producers rather than mass-produced festive goods.
Standard trading hours are 10am–6pm Monday to Saturday and 10am–5pm on Sundays, with late opening until 7pm every Thursday in December.
