Makers' Market City Hall - 2-day fair and workshops in the heart of the city, November 18-19

Makers' Market Városháza - 2 napos vásár és workshopok a város szívében,  november 18-19-én

On November 17, 2023, a new area will open to city residents in the center of Budapest and will be integrated into the fabric of the city. The previously closed spaces of the City Hall will connect Károly Boulevard and Városház Street. The promenade provides passage through the inner courtyards and gardens of a huge building block, which will then facilitate pedestrian traffic in the city center and, with its green space, provide a diverse cityscape and city experience in the densely built-up historical part of the city. The three-day November festival (November 17-19) evokes the atmosphere of a birthday party and "housewarming".

We were invited to this great program courtesy of Budapest Brand: we are welcoming visitors to the capital's newest arcade with a two-day fair - this time with a different design team on Saturday the 18th and Sunday the 19th!

The Merlin building is reopening its doors after 13 years - this is where our workshops will take place! Over the two days, we will be preparing a total of five different workshops, including knitting, macramé, stamping, and you can also make a wonderful leather pen holder and bank card holder under the guidance of super talented designers. Try the special experience of handmade creation, this time at a super discounted price , courtesy of Budapest Brand!
