Christmas Night Market at Balgove Larder
There's something about a farm shop after dark in December, and Balgove Larder, just outside St Andrews, makes an evening of it with its Christmas Night Market on Tuesday 1 December.
Christmas Market
11–20December
Jupiter Artland, the sculpture park in the woods near Wilkieston, holds a Christmas market over two weekends in December. Scottish makers set out handmade gifts, original art and festive food in a small village of stalls, with a live nativity and choirs singing. Children can make things in the elf workshop in the MAKE Studio, and the ticket also lets you walk the grounds among the sculptures and see the new Tai Shani exhibition. Extras include Santa's grotto, booked for a set time, and a heated outdoor swim. The market is on 11 to 13 and 18 to 20 December, 10am to 4pm, and you can arrive any time in those hours. Book through Jupiter Artland's website.
