🎄🛍️ Happening on Saturday, 30 May 2026! This one's for all makers, crafters, and festive traders... applications are now open for the annual Gift & Christmas Markets Selection Day, offering an opportunity to showcase your products to a collective of 11 Christmas and craft markets ahead of the busy festive season.
These markets focus on handmade, affordable, and distinctive products, alongside those much-loved traditional favourites shoppers return for each year. With the festive trading calendar filling up quickly, this is a valuable chance to connect with organisers and secure potential market opportunities for the season ahead.
Each market conducts its own screening process - all traders should apply directly to individual organisers (see contact details below):
