Thank you for expressing an interest in joining the Big Market! We host a variety of market formats designed to connect high-quality, diverse traders with vibrant local communities. Whether you are a well established brand or a small maker just starting out, we have a space for you.
Our Market Formats
-
Big Markets: Our signature, large-scale events designed for high-volume footfall and maximum exposure.
-
Mini Markets: Curated, intimate, and more cost-effective events. These are perfect for testing new products or engaging deeply with a specific local community.
Themes & Special Editions
To create unique 'pull factors' and attract diverse crowds, many of our markets feature a specialist theme (e.g. Art & Jewellery, LGBTQ+ Pride, or Sale Specials).
Please note: Our themes are designed to add extra interest, but they are not exclusive. All product types are welcome at every single event. For example, even at an 'Art Market', we still welcome food, clothing, and lifestyle traders to ensure a well-rounded experience for our customers.
