The Bowes Museum Winter Market

About

The galleries and grounds of the French styled Museum in Barnard Castle are once again set to come alive with the sights, sounds and smells of the season as the highly anticipated annual Winter Market returns from Friday 12th  December until Sunday 14th December.

Not only does the market offer a unique shopping experience with a wide variety of local and handmade gifts, it also includes free access to the Museum’s stunning galleries and exhibitions, ensuring that visitors can immerse themselves in what the attraction has to offer.

This highlight in the North East’s regional calendar features dozens of local and regional artisan traders and small businesses who sell a wide variety of unique products ranging from delicious food and scrumptious drinks to intricate, beautifully crafted homewares and fine jewellery. 

The stalls are set both outside on the Museum’s formal parterre garden and also through the magnificent 2nd floor Picture Galleries and inside the Jubilee Room.

Specialist outdoor matting, free pre-bookable accessible parking and a lift inside the Museum make the market accessible to everyone.
