Tips & Advice
- Buy your ticket online beforehand, because only a limited number are sold at the door and door sales stop when the market is full.
- Come in the afternoon if you can, since past years have shown the market gets quieter later in the day.
- Dress warmly and plan to keep your coat on, because the old factory is only partly heated and there's no cloakroom.
- Children under 12 get in free without booking a ticket, but anyone aged 12 or older needs their own admission ticket.
- If you have an e-ticket, check the signs above the door and join the 'E-ticket' line instead of the 'Kassa' line.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is there to do besides shopping?
Alongside more than 100 Scandinavian pop-up shops, there are Christmas choirs and musicians, workshops and talks for young and old, a gift-wrapping studio and four large terraces with Swedish treats and warm drinks.
Can I buy a ticket at the door?
Only a limited number of tickets are sold at the door. When the market is full, door sales stop for a while or altogether. An online ticket guarantees you get in, though you may have to wait briefly at the entrance.
How long should I allow for a visit?
Your day ticket is good all day, but most visitors stay about two hours.
Is there a cloakroom, and is the building heated?
There's no cloakroom. The old Suikerfabriek is indoors but poorly insulated and only partly heated, so keep your coat on.
Can I pay by card?
You can pay for entry by card or cash. Each stallholder chooses their own payment methods, but in past years almost every stand took cards.
