The holidays are better when they are handmade, community-driven, and full of life. That is exactly what the Birdhouse Winter Makers Market is all about.

Now in its third year, our Winter Makers Market is a beloved Birdhouse tradition and one of our favorite days of the entire year. We bring together an incredible lineup of local women vendors, hands-on creative workshops, live music, and the warm energy of a community that genuinely shows up for one another. It is part market, part creative studio, part celebration: all under one roof in the heart of Amesbury.

What to Expect

When you walk through our doors on December 12th you will find the space buzzing with creativity and community. Browse and shop from ten talented women-owned small businesses while simultaneously having the chance to roll up your sleeves and make something beautiful yourself. We will have multiple workshops and creative sessions running throughout the day alongside the market. So whether you want to shop, create, or simply soak it all in, there is something here for you.

This year's workshops include a wire pine tree sculpture class with award-winning artist Ryan Kelley, a festive wreath making session, and mini holiday photo sessions with Kate Fleming. Live music will fill the space and set the most perfect holiday mood. Sign up below!

Why We Do It

At Birdhouse we believe in the power of community, creativity, and connection. The Winter Makers Market is our way of shining a spotlight on the incredibly talented artists, makers, and small business owners in our area - and giving you a beautiful, meaningful way to shop for the holidays while supporting the people behind the work. Every purchase made here stays in the community and tells a maker that what they do matters.

Come for an hour or stay for the whole day. Come alone or bring your people. Either way, we cannot wait to welcome you.

Stay tuned for vendor announcements in November!
