Calafell Medieval Market

Calafell Medieval Market sets up at Castell de la Santa Creu in Calafell every Friday, Saturday and Sunday from 10am to 9pm, and it runs from May to September rather than all year. The medieval theme is the point of it: artisan stalls of handicrafts, jewellery, bread and prepared food pitched in the castle grounds. The 9pm close makes it a longer evening than most street markets in Calafell, which pack away by lunchtime.

What you'll find at Calafell Medieval Market

Handmade jewellery and handicrafts from local makers, bread and bakery goods, and prepared food you can eat standing up between the stalls. Everything is outdoors on the castle site, so there is no wet-weather cover.

How to get to Calafell Medieval Market

The market is at Castell de la Santa Creu, 43820 Calafell, on the high ground above the town rather than on the seafront. Calafell town hall's official page is where the season's dates and any changes are published.

What day is Calafell Medieval Market?

Calafell Medieval Market runs every Friday, Saturday and Sunday from 10am to 9pm during its May to September season. All three days keep the same eleven-hour timetable at Castell de la Santa Creu, so a Friday visit gets you the full market rather than a shorter version of the weekend one.

What months is Calafell Medieval Market open?

Outside that season there are no stalls at Castell de la Santa Creu, and the exact first and last weekends shift from year to year, so check calafell.cat before travelling in May or late September.

What can you buy at Calafell Medieval Market?
