Glasgow's former fish market will soon host its annual winter market.

Wasps Winter Market is returning to the Briggait in the first weekend of December, offering a wide selection of items from jewellery to ceramics, textiles to art in over ninety stalls.

Glasgow Times:

Last year's event welcomed around 2000 visitors, and this year it is expected to be even busier with vendors including Garter, Alan Campbell Art, Jane Martin Glass, cartoonist Frank Boyle and jewellery maker Morna Darling.

Wasps chief executive officer Audrey Carlin said: “Since we’ve been hosting the Winter Market in the convivial surroundings of The Briggait’s 1873 Hall the event gets more popular and in our fourth year we’re expecting our biggest turnout yet.

"It’s a popular opportunity for attendees to support their local artists and artisans and the artist community participating enjoys engaging with potential customers and showcasing their talents.

"It also makes a go-to destination to pick up something unique for that special festive gift.”

Glasgow Times:

Wasps’ Winter Market is free to attend and will be on at The Briggait, 141 Bridgegate, Glasgow on Saturday, December 3 and Sunday, December 4 from 10am to 5pm.

Potential vendors for the summer market are asked to contact Projects@waspstudios.org.uk for more information on applications.
