Join us as we bring together independent makers in a celebration of creativity and craftsmanship this festive season.

In the weeks leading up to Christmas, we will host a festive market at Coal Drops Yard, London.

Every Thursday through Sunday between 16 November and 17 December, a collection of unique handcrafted gifts will be available, alongside TOAST gifting and festive decorations. There will be a changing programme of makers and events each weekend.

Browse pieces by jewellery designers Corrie Williamson and Sally Lacock, ceramic artists Bert Jones and Grace McCarthy and leather workers Kate Sheridan and Francli Craftwear.
