About
Christmas Makers Market at the Garden of Reflection Gallery
This December, discover something a little different in the heart of Derry as the Garden of Reflection Gallery on Bishop Street hosts a special Christmas Makers Market, organised by the Derry Donegal Creative Collection.
Running daily from 4th to 14th December 2026, this festive pop-up brings together a wonderful mix of talented local artists, crafters, designers and independent makers, celebrating the creativity and craftsmanship found across Derry, Donegal and the surrounding areas.
Step inside the gallery and explore a carefully curated selection of original artwork, ceramics, jewellery, candles, handmade crafts and unique gifts. From beautiful pieces for your home to thoughtful presents for family and friends, there's something for every taste and budget.
Unlike the usual high street shopping experience, the Christmas Makers Market offers visitors the opportunity to discover locally created pieces, meet some of the people behind them and find gifts with a real sense of individuality and character.
It's also a chance to support local artists, craftspeople and small creative businesses at one of the most important times of the year for independent makers. Every purchase helps support the creative community and keeps local talent thriving.
Whether you're searching for a special Christmas gift, looking to add a new piece of artwork to your collection or simply fancy a relaxed browse while enjoying the festive atmosphere in the city, we'd love you to call in.
Located on Bishop Street, the Garden of Reflection Gallery provides a lovely setting for this celebration of art, creativity and handmade craftsmanship.
With free admission and extended opening hours on Thursdays and Fridays, there's plenty of opportunity to visit, browse and perhaps discover something you didn't even know you were looking for!
