The Vault Christmas Market is back!
Poster by Leo Boyd
In a world drowning in AI, something real reawakens at an ancient Belfast site.
This December, the Vault Christmas Market returns to Carlisle Memorial!!
We are delighted to announce that the Vault Christmas Market is once again returing to the stunning surrounds of Carlisle Memorial in North Belfast. Over the course of a weekend, the former church will be stuffed with 60+ stalls selling high-quality jewellery, original paintings and illustrations, gilded glass & stained glass, fine art prints, new and vintage clothing, ceramics, books and zines, fashion accessories and textiles, cards, macramé & crochet, homeware: vintage and antiques, and much more…
But it’s not only about all those beautiful and unique handmade gifts. The Vault Christmas Market is also a fun weekend out with friends and family. The Sunflower will be serving up fresh pints and we’ll have food drink sellers doing hot and cold food and drinks. DJ Neal & Violently Ill will be providing the sounds.
There’ll be the regular walkabout performers, elves and of course ‘The Santa You Deserve’ aka ‘Bad Santa’ causing havoc, or snoozing in a corner. And new this year is the Godzilla Santa Grotto - it has to be seen to be believed (and explained).
We’ll also be running the hugely popular (and hugely beneficial in keeping Vault afloat as we face another major upheavel in the new year) ‘Legendary Vault Christmas Market Raffle’ for which tickets are already on sale.
The market is family friendly and dog friendly (on leads please). The area is well served by public transport and parking is available at the Mater Hospital, Kent St, and Millfield.
