Handmade magic for the festive season
The Great Christmas Market is your go-to for thoughtful gifts, festive vibes, and beautifully crafted treasures—all made with love by local artisans.
Held in the elegant setting of Founders Heritage Park, The Great Christmas Market is a festive favourite that brings together the best of Nelson Tasman’s makers, designers and creatives for one very special weekend.
Discover handmade gifts, artisan food, locally designed homewares, jewellery, clothing, and festive treats you won’t find anywhere else. With over 90 stalls to browse, it’s the perfect place to tick off your Christmas list while supporting small businesses and local talent.
Wander through beautifully decorated heritage buildings and market lanes filled with music, mulled wine, and the scent of something delicious cooking nearby. It’s not just a market—it’s a full festive experience, with something for all ages.
Bring the whānau, soak up the atmosphere, and make a day of it. Whether you’re shopping for gifts or just coming for the magic, The Great Christmas Market is a joyful way to kick off the season in true Nelson Tasman style.
