WELCOME TO MNB SCOTLAND CIC
Our Story
Founded in 2022, MNB Scotland CIC (aka MNB) is a free-spirited, non-profit craft markets and makers community based in the heart of Edinburgh. We’re here to champion small businesses across Scotland, one colourful market at a time.
Our Mission
We organise four joyful, handpicked craft markets each year, using all stall fees to cover venue hire and digital marketing to get the word out far and wide. No profit, no pressure, just good vibes, and lots of tiny frogs. Think of MNB Scotland as your hype team, your sounding board, and your extended business fam. We’re all about helping creatives, makers, and small biz dreamers grow their brand, find their people, and feel supported every step of the way.
Come for the markets, stay for the love!
