Midlands Makers Winter Market Dec 3+4th

Updated: Mar 31, 2023

We are honoured to continue our market at the incredible LCB Depot space in Leicester City Centre. Steeped in creativity it is the perfect space for us. With our last event being so successful, we wanted to offer an opportunity to double the Makers we have and therefore the market will be taking place over two days.


Saturday 3rd December for Midlands Makers Only

Sunday 4th December for makers from the Midlands and beyond


The last was such a success thanks to everyone who made it down and filled the space with community spirit!


The space will allow for 28 makers and live music with street food. We will have a DJ for the beginning of the day and then have performances from local musicians in the afternoon.


Group of girls gather round a stallholder at Midlands Makers Market in Leicester. Two girls wear Hijab, one wears bandana and they look excited. Their pink and lilac outfits match a painting of a woman with a gown in the background.



We will have food running all day provided by wonderful Gray's Kitchen, along with coffees and booze. The venue is accessible and welcomes both children and dogs.


We ask that instead of an entry fee, we would like you bring a donation for our local food bank at Help the Homeless. They are not funded by the council and so rely entirely on local support. They particularly need any long life food and items that can be made using a kettle eg. noodle pots, cup a soup etc... long life milk, tea coffee and biscuits are great. Entry is completely free, we'll have a box to donate food at your discretion on the day but would very much appreciate the kindness in this community event. Our last collection fed the homeless people of Leicester for 3 weeks.


We are building this event as a not for profit, community event in the hope to spread some community spirit! We'd love it if you could share the event with your friends when it is launched..


Stall Holder information

Full table, 160 x 80cm. To provide your own table.

Thank you so much for your interest. You can apply for a stall at our event, here.


We will email back all successful applicants, there are limited spaces and we do endeavour to provide a mix of makers so please don't be disappointed if you don't hear back about this event.
