Welcome to Castle Street Market
CASTLE STREET MARKET is one of the most well established markets in Edinburgh, running since 2007. The market takes place in one of our capital's most beautiful locations - on the iconic Castle Street. Set against the backdrop of the iconic Edinburgh Castle, Castle Street Market looks out onto the busy and vibrant Princes Street. On the other side of the market, the lively atmosphere of Rose Street and George Street adds to the unique charm that makes this location a favourite for locals, tourists, and visitors alike.
If you’re an independent food producer, maker, designer, jeweller, fashion creator, artist, photographer, or you focus on promoting fair and ethical trade, we would love to hear from you! Application forms are available by emailing [email protected].
Our team supports exhibitors throughout the trading days, providing overnight security and 3x3 gazebos.
Most of our markets run for seven days, though we extend our dates during Edinburgh’s unique Fringe Festival and the magical Christmas period to make the most of the season's buzz - *please note, festive dates will be announced soon!
