This weekend, Saturday, December 3, and Sunday, December 4, visit the NCCD for a unique Christmas event.

There will be high quality crafts, drop in workshops, specialist food and a craft trail.

In 2015, Gifted Contemporary Christmas Market had more than 3,000 visitors.

A spokesman for NCCD said: “The event prides itself in providing the highest standard of craft and food makers to ensure a unique Christmas shopping experience. This year we welcome musicians, local choirs and demonstrators to conjure a traditional and contemporary festive atmosphere.”

Visitors can browse stalls selling jewellery and homeware, or indulge themselves with fudge and cupcakes.

Drop-in sessions include gliding a festive decoration with W H Conservation, or decorating crockery with ceramicist Kate McBride.

A Christmas crafts trail will take visitors inside to see Here and Now and Soft Engineering, exhibitions at NCCD.

The free event runs from 10am to 4pm on both days.
