Vault christmas market 2026
Carlisle memorial church
5 & 6 December (11am–5pm)
DING DONG!
This December, the Vault Christmas Market
returns to Carlisle Memorial!!
We are delighted to announce that the fabulous Vault Christmas Market is once again returning 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 absolutely zero AI) there really is much more — not just saying!
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 and is free to visit. The Sunflower will be serving up fresh pints, and we’ll have food and drink providers doing delicious hot and cold food and drinks. DJ Lesley & the Pigeons will be providing the tunes!
There’ll be the regular walkabout performers, Christmas elves and back by unpopular demand ‘The Santa You Deserve’ aka ‘Bad Santa’ causing havoc, or snoozing in a corner. He’s harmless though – we ARE family friendly (and dog friendly – on leads please).
We’ll also be running the hugely popular (and hugely beneficial in keeping Vault afloat as we face another major upheaval in the new year) ‘Legendary Vault Christmas Market Raffle’ for which tickets are already on sale.
