Tips & Advice

  • Allow enough time to browse both floors, as the market is spread throughout the museum rather than gathered in one room.
  • Look for work by Scotland-based artists and designers, including handmade and small-batch pieces across a range of design disciplines.
  • Wear comfortable shoes for browsing across both floors; the event's layout means you'll be moving around the museum.
  • With the market running for three days, choose a visit day that gives you enough time to browse without rushing.
