CORNers Market 2026: date, opening hours and address
- When: Sunday 11 October 2026
- Hours: 11:00 - 19:00
- Where: Porta Galliana - Club Primo Piano, Via Bastioni Settentrionali - Rimini (RN)

- What you'll find: craft, handmade and vintage, workshops and experiences, yoga, DJ sets, food & beverage
The name plays on the event's motto, "il bello è dietro l'angolo" (beautiful things are just around the corner): a day to wander through slowly, browsing the stands, talking to the people behind them, listening to music and spending a few hours outdoors. There are 25 exhibitor spaces, according to the organisers' website: enough for variety, few enough to see everything without rushing.
Entry is free. The ticket arrives by email with a QR code and a reminder of times and address.
Get your free ticketThe venue: Porta Galliana - Club Primo Piano
The market takes place at Porta Galliana - Club Primo Piano, on Via Bastioni Settentrionali, right by Rimini's old city walls and a short walk from the historic centre. It is not a trade-fair hall nor a street closed for the day: it is an open-air space with trees, tables and lights that turns into a market for one Sunday. Which is why a couple of hours is the right amount of time to set aside.
What you'll find at CORNers Market
- Craft and handmade: one-off pieces and small runs, with the maker standing right there.
- Vintage: second-hand clothes and objects, picked one by one.
- Workshops and experiences: hands-on sessions: tufting, eco-resin, upcycling, games about emotions.
- Yoga, DJ sets and food: two free yoga classes, music through the day, food and drinks on site.
One tip on how to read a market like this: what separates one stand from the next is not only price, it is process. Asking how an object was made - which material, how many hours, how many attempts - is the fastest way to understand what you are buying. People who genuinely make things are happy to answer, and that is when a market stops being shopping and becomes a short visit to a workshop.
The workshop schedule
Workshops are booked from the CORNers Market page on Handsome: each has only a few places. The schedule published by the organisers:

Handsome at CORNers: the "Find out what maker you are" quiz
Handsome is at CORNers Market too, with a stand and the "Find out what maker you are" quiz: five questions, a craft that suits you and workshops by local Makers to try after the market, in and around Rimini. Scan the QR code at the stand, or take it here.
Same Sunday: Secret Market in Gradara
On Sunday 11 October, just over the border between Romagna and the Marche, there is also Secret Market in the village of Gradara, from 12:00 to 22:00, inside the venue Al Giardino Segreto. It is the last market of their season: if you fancy two markets in one day, you can do Rimini in the daytime and head up to Gradara towards the evening. Read the Secret Market guide.
Craft in Rimini, beyond Sunday
If the market leaves you wanting to try with your own hands, Handsome lists workshops by Makers in Rimini and across Romagna: ceramics, jewellery, textiles, 3D printing, painting. A few hours in the studio of someone who does this for a living, with materials included in the price. For ideas on the city after dark, there is also our guide to Rimini in the evening.
A few hours with local Makers, materials included.
