This calendar puts the windows each organiser published for 2026 in month order, with a link to their page, so you know when to watch for the 2027 call. ## How to read this calendar Each market sits in the month you need to act. Where the organiser has already announced a date for 2027, we show it as the official deadline. Otherwise the reference is the 2026 call: dates tend to move by only a few days, but nothing guarantees they will repeat. Set a reminder a month before the reference date and always confirm on the organiser's page. Nothing here replaces the official terms. ## Application calendar, month by month ### March - **Bath Christmas Market** (Bath, GB): 2026 applications opened in March 2026.

It depends on the organiser. Bath Christmas Market opened its 2026 stallholder applications at the end of March for about four weeks, and Edinburgh's Christmas tells traders to look out for the next season's applications in spring. By November, Bath, York and Edinburgh had all closed their 2026 calls. ### Will the same dates apply in 2027? We don't know, and we don't assume so. Last year's call is the best public hint, but every organiser sets its dates each year. That is why we separate an official 2027 deadline, once announced, from the 2026 reference. ### What should I have ready before applications open? What application forms ask for most often: photos of your products and your stall, a description of what you sell, your business or self-employment registration where required, and public liability insurance. A catalogue behind one link saves attaching large files. ## Before you apply for a stall - [How to apply for a Christmas market stall: deadlines, portfolio and photos](https://www.mercader.app/en/blog/how-to-apply-for-a-christmas-market-stall.md): What Christmas market organisers look at when choosing traders, when applications open, what to put in your portfolio and what your photos should look like to get selected. - [Selling crafts: taxes and rules in the US and UK (2026)](https://www.mercader.app/en/blog/selling-crafts-taxes-and-rules.md): Hobby or business, the IRS and HMRC rules, the $20,000 1099-K threshold, the £1,000 trading allowance and product rules: what you need to sell handmade work legally. - [Is this craft fair worth it?
