Christmas Market

Join us for one of Edinburgh’s most magical Christmas Market at the Edinburgh Steiner School!

For over 70 years, this much-loved event has been a cherished part of the capital’s cultural calendar. Led by parents, fuelled by creativity and embraced by our whole community, the Market has welcomed more than 2,000 visitors each year and is one of the school’s biggest fundraising event – all to help support our vibrant learning environment.

Each November, our entire school community comes together to transform the wooded 3 acre campus into a sparkling winter wonderland. The result is a day brimming with warmth, wonder, and festive spirit, a joyful celebration of all that makes Steiner education unique.

What makes it so special?

  • Artisan Markets Stalls – discover unique creations from talented local artists, designers, makers and crafters
  • Live Performances – enjoy puppet shows, storytelling, carol singing and music throughout the day
  • Children’s Favourites – meet the beloved King Winter and the enchanting Pocket Lady
  • Creative Workshops – try your hand at candle-dipping, wreath-making, and other festive crafts
  • Delicious Treats – from our Viennese Café filled with festive bakes, to mulled wine, waffles and toasted
    marshmallows, to hearty freshly made savoury delights like dhal, soup, pizza and BBQ favourites
  • Fun & Games – test your luck with raffles, tombola, and traditional fairground games
