Midlands Makers Opportunities 2026

We're excited to launch the first 2 dates of many this year! 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, 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.

Leicester Food and Music Festival on August 8th and 9th.

New and improved, this event has expanded beyond it's original food fest offerings going into its third year. Last year we saw 20,000 customers attend over two days. This year, we'll be making most of the Saturday, opening longer at 11am - 7pm and on Sunday the day will be shorter 11-5.30. The Sunday will also see cheaper entrance tickets, drawing in a bigger crowd on the day.

If you'd like to apply, please do so here. Applications will close on April 25th.
