Following our successful Curated Aberdeen Local Makers Market in Bon Accord Centre, the Curated in the Quad Market will return to the city, in partnership with Aberdeen Inspired.

The event will feature a unique line up each weekend in the lead up to Christmas with both new and established small businesses taking residence in festive wooden cabins in the beautiful surrounds of Marischal College Quadrangle.

With gifts options including arts, crafts, clothing, jewellery and homeware along with gourmet food and drink, there will be something to suit every taste this Christmas!

100% of the profits from the stallholder fees will go towards our work supporting babies, children and young people with life-limiting or life-threatening conditions, and their families.
