MNB Spring Craft Market - Trader Application Form

We are so hyped to be back, and delighted to open the application window for our first market of 2026! 🎉 We’ll be welcoming 25 stalls to our shiny new home, OOTB Drill Hall, on Saturday 4 April.

MNB is a Community Interest Company (CIC), and our community is all about handmade work and real art. We exist to support local makers and artists, which means we are very strict on AI slop and drop-shipped goods. If your products include AI-gen or drop-shipped items, your application will be automatically rejected. Yes, it’s blunt. But the industry is shifting in a way that’s pushing out real artists and genuinely handmade work, and as a CIC, it’s our responsibility to protect our community, champion artists, and bring our city the good stuff: actual handmade, proper craft, and real art.

Because we receive a lot of applications, we’re only able to contact successful traders directly. Once everyone is confirmed, we’ll publish the final trader list on our website and socials. We don’t accept applications after the window closes. All eligible applicants who weren’t selected form our waiting list will be contacted if a space opens up, so we can offer it fairly. 

As always, this market is curated, we’ll be selecting 25 stalls very carefully to make sure there’s a great mix and a strong handmade/art focus. Stall fee is £69 (we’re still trying to keep it as low as possible!), and it includes a 6ft x 3ft table, chairs, venue hire costs, paid marketing + promotion to drive footfall. Every penny of the stall fees goes back into the event, as a CIC, we do not make any profit from our markets. 

For your application to be successful, please upload 4 - 5 product photos on the form.
