About Ōtautahi Crafters Market

Ōtautahi Crafters Market is a curated, community-driven market held in the heart of Christchurch, dedicated to celebrating and supporting Aotearoa’s incredible creative talent. Born from a love of handmade, small business, and local connection, we’ve grown into a much-loved event that brings together makers, artists, foodies, and creatives from across the region.

​

Whether it’s your first market or your fiftieth, our goal is to create a space where creativity thrives, communities connect, and stallholders are supported. From our seasonal events like the Spring and Christmas Markets to one-off collaborations and special pop-ups, we strive to make every market a unique, welcoming experience for all.

We’re especially proud of our commitment to fostering the next generation of makers — giving youth and emerging creators the opportunity to grow their businesses in a safe, inclusive, and inspiring environment.

​

With live music, interactive spaces, goodie bags, and a few surprises along the way, each market is more than just a shopping experience — it’s a celebration of all things handmade and heartfelt.

Come along, support local, and experience the magic of a community brought together by creativity.
