Following the success of last year’s Christmas Creative Market, we are looking for Fylde Coast-based stallholders to offer a unique Christmas shopping experience to the general public.
The market will take place in the Pavilion and Floral Hall of Blackpool Winter Gardens. Not only is this is a unique selling opportunity in a fantastic indoor venue that’s not to be missed, it’s your chance to help shape the markets so that work well for local artists and makers.
We’re looking for stallholders with great creative talent and unique, original products.
Product categories
We’ll assess applications based upon the following criteria:
A professional, well-presented business – a website or social media site with good product descriptions and photographs.
Artists/makers are based on the Fylde Coast
Product quality: Products/artworks need to be finished to a high standard.
They must meet manufacturing standards and may need to be approved by Trading Standards.
Your social media presence – to show us what you do and to help us promote the event
The balance of sellers: we want to make sure that there’s a good mix of sellers at the event. We are always looking for new and innovative products to be sold at the event. Some product categories, e.g. Jewellery and Food and Drink retailers can become oversubscribed, in this instance assessments will be made on their uniqueness, exclusivity and their quality. They may also be benchmarked against other applicants in the same category.
All of your products need to be your own work. With the exception of vintage, we’re not looking for resellers of manufactured goods (e.g. Tropic, Body Shop at Home).
Location: The Pavilion and Floral Hall, Winter Gardens, Church Street Blackpool
Opening hours: Saturday 30 November 2024: 10am – 4pm (set up access from 8am)
