Building on our Curated Aberdeen Local Makers Market in the Bon Accord Centre, Curated in the Square will return to the city this year in partnership with Aberdeen Inspired, Aberdeen City Council, and Codona’s.
Across seven weeks in the Christmas season, visitors can browse a line-up of new and established small businesses, trading from festive wooden cabins set throughout Marischal Square.
From arts and crafts to clothing, jewellery, homeware, and gourmet food and drink, there will be something for everyone to enjoy this festive season.
With 100% of Curated in the Square stallholder fees going directly to Charlie House, every stallholder and customer will be helping to provide vital support for babies, children, and young people with life-limiting or life-threatening conditions, as well as their families across the North-east of Scotland.
Situated within and around Marischal Square, Curated in the Square is just a short walk from Aberdeen’s bus and train stations, with most city centre bus routes stopping nearby.
