APPLICATION INFO
Please read the Terms and Conditions before applying.
Ideally we would like for you to have visited Creators Market before applying, so you have a good feel of what the vibe is and what the day is like. If you haven't been before, you can check out the gallery page to get a feel for it.
We will open up applications multiple times throughout the year. We will email our mailing list when applications will be open first, and then we will post when applications will be open on our Instagram account.
Once applications are open, they will remain open for 2 weeks. If you are interested, please apply during this time by filling in the application form. Please only apply via the online application form – any emails or social media DM’s to apply WILL NOT be considered.
Multiple traders can apply to share a standard pitch, however we would not recommend any more than 3 traders on one pitch. You will only need to fill out one application if you are sharing, but please ensure you include details of all traders on that application.
Once applications are closed, we will assess all forms. Each application is looked at on an individual basis. We kindly ask to not contact us during this time. We will email all applicants to notify them of the outcome, whether successful, on the reserve list or otherwise. This can normally take between 1-2 weeks. We aim to have selected and confirmed stallholders 1 month before each market.
If you have been successful or put on the reserve list we will email you the details of which date/s you have been selected for.
For successful applicants the email will also include payment details for your pitch, info on parking, public liability insurance and social media.
Please note:
-
Applying does not automatically guarantee you a place at the market.
-
Whether you have applied before or not, all traders must reapply for each round if they are wanting to be considered again for another market date.
-
We receive more applications for each market than we have pitches available. Unfortunately we cannot offer a space to everyone that applies, however we will always focus on trying to rotate traders as much as possible.
-
If you have applied for multiple traders on one pitch, it will be your responsibility to organise your space and how you share it with each other.
-
When filling in your application form we would ask for you to give as much information as possible. This includes photos of current stock and potentially previous market stalls if you have done them before.
-
If you haven’t done a market before, are just starting out, or both - we welcome new traders! We are enthusiastic about bringing new businesses to the market 😊
CRITERIA
It is important to us that our traders have a passion for what they do and enjoy being amongst other creatives as it is not just a market, but an environment that wants to nurture and celebrate Bristol’s creative community.
When considering applications we look at creativity, individuality and sustainability. While we are very broad in the types of businesses we accept, we like to ensure that our traders are passionate about what they do, are knowledgeable about their field of work and understand the impact they may have on the environment.
We will not consider any applications from traders that are wanting to sell mass produced or bulk-imported items.
All traders MUST have up to date Public Liability insurance of up to at least £5 million.
All traders must read, agree and adhere to the terms and conditions. Failure to do so will mean you will not be invited to the market. If there has been a breach of T’&C’s you will be asked to leave the market and will not be considered for future applications.
By submitting the application form you agree to the T’s and C’s.
TABLES & CHAIRS
All regular pitches can accommodate a standard 183cm (L) x 76cm (W) trestle table. It is your responsibility to provide your own table.
We do have a VERY LIMITED number of standard sized trestle tables for hire for £5.00. If you are invited to have a pitch after applying, please email us to let us know if you’d like to hire one ASAP. Please note there are not enough tables to supply all traders.
We have an abundance of chairs at the venue so you will not need to bring your own!
Suitcase Pitches
We offer a very limited number of suitcase sized pitches too. These are great for first time traders or those who have less stock or smaller stock and do not require a standard trestle table.
We will provide the table for all suitcase pitches which will be a circular table with a diameter of 90cm.
Prices
Standard trestle table: £35
Suitcase pitch: £25
