The Riverside Museum Christmas Market will be returning this year on Saturday 30th November and Sunday 1st December!
There will be around 40 stalls inside the museum selling handmade and crafted gifts, and the market will be free to get into. The museum is always free to enter and will have fun festive decorations and free family activities throughout December – keep an eye on Riverside Museum’s social media pages for more details on this.
We are over the moon to bring the Christmas Market back to Riverside this year. It is one of our most popular events, attracting thousands of visitors each day. The museum is bustling with people and there is a joyous festive atmosphere as people pick up handmade, thoughtful, local gifts for their loved ones and prepare for the fun of the Christmas season.
Where possible we will update our listings to notify of cancelled, postponed and rescheduled events, however we STRONGLY ADVISE that you check with the venue/organiser in the first instance for updates.
