Join us for the very first Friendly Folk makers market, hosted one of Nottingham new up & coming venues, The Nest. An exciting 1300 capacity ex-warehouse situated near Meadow Lane , recently renovated to host a multitude of exciting events! From Bonkers Bingo, live gigs, club nights & footy fan zones, and now our lovely new market!

Discover over 40 talented independent makers, bakers and creatives from Nottingham and beyond, bringing you unique gifts, handmade treasures and festive treats you won’t find on the high street. You can expect ceramics, prints, woodworks, felting, photography, paintings and more — plus a live dog portrait artist capturing your four-legged friends in festive style!

Warm up with our street food line-up, offering hearty bites and sweet seasonal snacks, and enjoy a drink (or two!) from the bar, serving mulled wine, festive tipples and soft drinks.

Get creative with four festive workshops to choose from throughout the day, and soak up the seasonal spirit with live entertainment spreading Christmas cheer. Scroll down to see what's on & grab your tickets!
