Haddington Corn Exchange Makers Market - Support the Makers

Haddington Corn Exchange Makers Market

Set in the beautiful Haddington Corn Exchange, right in the heart of Haddington, our Makers Markets bring together a wonderful collection of independent makers, artists and creatives for a lovely day of shopping small, discovering local talent and celebrating all things handmade.
You'll find our makers in the beautiful Main Hall, alongside seasonal creative workshops, interactive activities, occasional live performances and delicious baked goods from local bakers!

Our Makers Markets
Each market is carefully curated to bring together a gorgeous mix of locally produced, handmade products, celebrating the creativity, skills and talent of independent makers from across the region.

Expect to discover everything from artwork, prints and jewellery to ceramics, textiles, clothing, candles, accessories, homewares, houseplants and lots more!

Our markets are all about bringing people together, supporting independent businesses and giving visitors the opportunity to meet the talented people behind the products they love.

Creative Workshops & Entertainment
There's more to our Makers Markets than shopping! We have a dedicated workshop room where we welcome local creatives to host seasonal, hands-on workshops, giving visitors the opportunity to learn something new, get creative and enjoy a little time making.
