Where the magic of the season takes shape in children's own hands.
Santa's Workshop is one of the most beloved attractions of the Sibiu Christmas Market, the place where the magic of the season takes shape in children's own hands. Set in the heart of the market, in the Grand Square, the workshop invites little ones to discover the joy of making things themselves, in a storybook setting.
In past years, children made candles using traditional techniques, painted gingerbread, baked biscuits, decorated baubles and crafted seasonal cards and ornaments, all inspired by the spirit of Christmas. Every activity lasted around 40 minutes and was led, step by step, by Santa's attentive team of elves.
At the end of each session, the little makers head home with their very own "work of art" — an unforgettable keepsake from the Sibiu Christmas Market.
Year after year, thousands of children pass through Santa's Workshop, whether with their families or in groups organised by nurseries and schools. As places are limited and fill up fast, taking part requires booking online in advance. Our booking system will launch soon.
Jewellery, ceramics, carved wood, scented candles and local delicacies — from more than 120 carefully chosen exhibitors.
