About Christmas Arts Market
MAC Foyer and Bar | 10am - 5pm | Free
Get into the festive spirit at MAC’s Christmas Arts Markets, returning for another season of independent creativity, beautiful handmade gifts and festive browsing.
Discover an inspiring selection of work from talented designer-makers from Birmingham, the West Midlands and beyond. Taking over MAC's Foyer and Bar, each market brings together a carefully selected line-up of independent makers, offering the perfect opportunity to shop small and discover something truly unique.
Expect stalls filled with handmade ceramics, jewellery, paintings, prints, glass, textiles, homeware and more. Whether you’re searching for a special Christmas gift, treating someone you love, or simply finding something for yourself, there’s plenty of creative talent to discover.
What’s in store?
🎨 Shop handmade: Browse a brilliant selection of original, handmade gifts and discover the work of independent designer-makers.
🤝 Meet the makers: Chat directly with the artists and designers behind the work and hear more about their creative processes.
🎁 Find something unique: From thoughtful stocking fillers to one-of-a-kind presents, discover gifts you won’t find on the high street.
☕ Make a day of it: Take a break from browsing with a festive drink, sweet treat or something savoury from KILN Café. On Sundays, you can even enjoy a warming roast dinner after exploring the market.
Support independent makers, shop creatively and enjoy a festive day out at MAC.
