Craft & making · Edinburgh

A quiet, leafy churchyard just off Princes Street turns into a daily open-air market through August — over 120 Scottish makers rotating through the month, selling handmade jewellery, prints, homewares and accessories.
It's a good breather from the Fringe crush right in the thick of it: free to browse, genuinely independent stallholders, and new faces most weeks if you drop by more than once.
Never miss the good ones
We send the weekend's best hand-picked days out every Thursday. Free.
