The UK’s best known and loved craft retailer, Hobbycraft, has teamed up with Pedddle to reveal this year’s best Christmas markets in London, where shoppers can find handmade gifts and treats galore.

Pedddle is an easy-to-use online directory championing small businesses selling at markets and helping customers to find them. Founder Nicki Capewell says: “We are hearing from organisers and stallholders alike that they expect Christmas markets to be bustling this year.”

She continues: “We know that shoppers love to be able to touch and feel the products they’re checking out, especially when it comes to handmade gifts, and there’s no better way to do this than buying directly from makers themselves. Our list includes some hidden gems that will be sure to delight locals looking to support small businesses this Christmas.”

Katherine Paterson, Hobbycraft Customer Director, says: “We look forward to seeing festive markets thriving this Christmas, as we are passionate about supporting our customers, many of whom are small craft business owners and will be selling their brilliant creations from market stalls.”

“Those customers are the reason we created Hobbycraft Plus – a subscription service that offers dedicated crafters and craft businesses discounts across the Hobbycraft range and provides support and advice in the form of exclusive seminars to help them grow their business.”
