Midlands Makers Market opportunities in 2026 - Apply to trade!

With loads of success in Leicester and Nottingham last year, we've decided to spend this year finding new locations around the Midlands. If you know of a site near you that you'd like us to host a market at, or are a site who would like to have a regular market - please reach out to Nikki at Mailmidlandsmakers@gmail.com.

Please note that we do not accept items that are drop shipped/ from Temu. All ideas must be original ideas and have a strong brand identity.
