WE’RE GONNA NEED A BIGGER HAMPER!

The legendary Vault Christmas Raffle is back. This time bigger and better than ever, if that’s possible. Our raffle hampers are always massive. Bursting with amazing and eclectic donations from our artists and stall holders and our friends in cultural organisations and quality establishments in Belfast.

Our raffle is a major fundraiser for Vault and all ticket sales help us enormously with things like keeping the lights on, running our public programming and the upheavel of the majority of our members in the new year as we are forced to move to new digs. We are an independent, multidisciplinary and artist led organisation providing studio and practice space to over 140 artists and community groups from across the city.

Raffle winners will be drawn on Saturday 6th and Sunday 7th December 2025 at Vault Christmas Market, Carlisle Memorial Church and will be broadcast live on Vault instagram at the end of each day.
