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!

Our Community Statement
Our activities are designed to support and champion small businesses, independent creators, and artisan makers across Scotland. We provide benefit to the community by:
- Organising inclusive, accessible, and vibrant craft markets that give small businesses and independent creators affordable opportunities to showcase and sell their work.
- Providing a platform for independent creators and small businesses to stage workshops demonstrating their skills, and collaborating with the community.
- Promoting creativity, craftsmanship, and sustainable local enterprise through collaborative marketing, outreach, and events.
- Building a supportive network that fosters collaboration, skill-sharing, and visibility for Scotland’s diverse community of makers.
Through these activities, we aim to strengthen the local creative economy, encourage community engagement with small independent traders, and help sustain Scotland’s rich culture of creativity and artisan goods.
