VÆRK Julemarked

VÆRK Christmas Market brings Copenhagen's finest artisan craftsmanship to the beautiful garden of Designmuseum Danmark for two special weekends each December. Organized by Danske Kunsthåndværkere & Designere (Danish Craftsmen & Designers), this curated market showcases exclusively professional members working in crafts and design, ensuring exceptional quality in every piece. Set within a large heated circus tent in the museum's picturesque garden, VÆRK offers a cozy refuge from winter weather while you browse unique handcrafted treasures. The market features rotating exhibitors across two weekends, with more than thirty professional artisans presenting their work in jewelry design, ceramics, textiles, glass, and graphic arts. Unlike mass-market Christmas fairs, VÆRK emphasizes the stories behind each creation—visitors can meet the makers directly and learn about their creative processes and techniques. The intimate setting allows for meaningful conversations with artists while discovering one-of-a-kind gifts that blend aesthetic beauty with exceptional craftsmanship. The museum's historic location on Bredgade adds cultural depth to your shopping experience, and Café FORMAT provides refreshments including waffles to enjoy during your visit. With free admission to the market (separate from museum entry), VÆRK offers an accessible yet upscale alternative to Copenhagen's larger Christmas markets. Plan to visit both weekends if possible, as the selection of products and exhibitors changes, offering fresh discoveries each time.
