Our retail zone is the perfect place to showcase and sell your handmade creations. It’s a great way to test out new products and designs, reach new audiences and showcase your talents in a friendly space.

We offer a range of display options to suit your budget, with short- and long-term hire available.

Community Commitment

We’re keen to build a vibrant creative community at the Hub and ask all our sellers to contribute to this by spending some time working in the retail zone.

This not only helps us keep the shop open, for everyone’s benefit, but it’s also a great way to meet and engage with your customers directly.

Please note, all hire fees are INCLUSIVE of VAT.
ALL spaces are subject to a flat rate of commission at 15% (+VAT)

There is a £30 (inc. VAT) joining fee to cover administration costs. An initial hire agreement is for a minimum of 3 months, then monthly rolling after that. Rent must be paid by direct debit a month in advance. Commission will be deducted from your takings, which will have a monthly accounting period, paid to you from the shop.

Community commitment days will generally be worked as whole days. It may be possible to work half days if we can find someone to cover the other half.

You’ll need to undertake a short training session before you can work in the shop, which will take approximately 2 hours.
