New Market Dates for 2026

Because we are aware that it’s hard to be an alternative indie artist right now, we are delighted to announce three new markets for our 2026 event schedule that will help create more opportunities for local artists, artisans, and creators.

Our Book-ish Market in May 2026 will feature authors, writers, indie publishers, and creators of book and writing-related items and accessories such as journals, paper, pens, and cards.

To accommodate the huge number of jewellery and accessory vendors who apply to our markets, we’ve added a Fall Fashion Fair in September 2026, which will also be open to indie clothing designers and vintage resellers.

And finally, we will be adding an additional holiday market in November 2026 to allow for early Christmas shopping and to offer vending opportunities to even more makers at the busiest time of the year.

Also, please note that we’ve adjusted the date for the 2026 instalment of our Hallowmas Market from the previously announced date to October 10th (Thanksgiving weekend), to hopefully allow for a wider spread of events across the month, making it easier for more vendors and customers to take part.

A full list of dates and vendor calls can be found below, with more info on each market available by selecting a specific event from the drop-down menu.

2026 Market Dates
February 7th – My Bloody Valentine Market – Vendor Call: November 25th to December 9th
April 18th – Gothic Garden Market – Vendor Call: January 27th to February 10th
May 23rd – Book-ish Market – Vendor Call: March 17th to 31st
