Most of Copenhagen’s Christmas markets are outdoors, which is lovely until the wind comes in off the harbour. Julemarked i Remisen is the opposite: a warm, roomy hall in Østerbro, filled for one weekend with stalls run by the people who made what’s on the table.
It’s organised by Sjællandske Fåreavlere – the sheep farmers’ association of Zealand – so expect plenty of wool. But the selection has grown a lot over the years, and these days you’ll also find ceramics, jewellery, woodwork, Christmas decorations and food. Here’s everything you need to know before you go.
When Is Julemarked i Remisen in 2026?
The market is open for one weekend only:
- Saturday 28 November 2026: 10:00–17:00
- Sunday 29 November 2026: 10:00–17:00
It’s always held on the last weekend of November, which makes it one of the first chances of the season to tick off your Christmas shopping. The dates and hours come from the organiser’s official website, julemarkedremisen.dk – check it before you go in case of changes.
Is Julemarked i Remisen Free?
Yes, entry is free and everyone is welcome. You only pay for what you buy, eat and drink.
What Makes Julemarked i Remisen Special?
The market has one simple rule: you must make what you sell yourself. No resellers, no imported goods. That means the person behind the stall can tell you how the thing was made – and often which sheep the wool came from.
It also has a long history. Sjællandske Fåreavlere held its first Christmas market in December 1989 in Brandts Pakhus in Odense, moved to Nørrebrohallen the year after, and found its home in Remisen in 1992. That makes it older than the famous Christmas market in Tivoli, which opened in 1994. In 2026 the market is held for the 37th time.
What Can You Buy at the Market?
Around 50 exhibitors from all over Zealand take part. Wool and knitwear are the heart of the market, but there’s much more:
- Wool and knitwear: yarn from the makers’ own sheep, sheepskins, socks, mittens and blankets
- Christmas decorations, flowers and felt: Advent wreaths, baubles, paper cut-outs, dried flowers and felted figures
- Ceramics, glass and sculpture: ceramics, hand-blown glass, bronze sculptures and driftwood
- Jewellery: sterling silver, gemstones, beads and Japanese paper
- Wickerwork, wood and metal: willow weaving, turned wood, copper and hand-bound brooms
- Food and drink: honey, mead, vanilla and beeswax wraps
- Pictures and drawings: watercolours, acrylic paintings, illustrations and textile prints
Want to try it yourself? Exhibitor Irene Larsen holds a needle felting workshop at her stall. You can browse all the exhibitors on the market’s website.
What Food and Drinks Can I Expect?
Remisen’s cafeteria is open during the market and serves, among other things, æbleskiver – round Danish Christmas pancake puffs. At the food stall you can buy grilled sausages in a bun, made from lamb or goat.
What Is Remisen?
Remisen means “the tram depot”, and that’s exactly what the building was. It was built between 1900 and 1902 by Copenhagen’s tram company, De Kjøbenhavnske Sporveje, and designed by the architect Vilhelm Friederichsen. When the trams disappeared, the big hall remained, and in the 1980s it became an activity centre for the children of the neighbourhood.
How Do I Get to Julemarked i Remisen?
The market is at Remisen, Blegdamsvej 132, 2100 København Ø, right across the street from Trianglen.

- Bus: Lines 1A, 14 and 23 stop at Trianglen.
- Bike: There’s bicycle parking at Remisen.
- Car: There’s paid parking along Blegdamsvej all weekend, so the metro is the easiest option.
What Should I Know Before Visiting?
- Bring cash: Many stalls take MobilePay, but the organisers recommend bringing cash in Danish kroner. There are several ATMs at Trianglen.
- Accessibility: There’s a ramp at the entrance, step-free access inside, an accessible toilet and plenty of room between the stalls – great for wheelchairs and prams.

What Else Is There to Do Nearby?
Trianglen sits right on the edge of Fælledparken, Copenhagen’s largest public park, so it’s easy to combine your shopping with a winter walk.

How Does It Compare to Other Copenhagen Christmas Markets?
Julemarked i Remisen is small, indoors and all about handmade crafts – a calm contrast to the lights and crowds of the big central markets. If you want the full festive spectacle, head to Tivoli or the new Jul På Højbro Plads afterwards. See our complete guide to Copenhagen Christmas markets.
