Makers Market: Stallholder Opportunities

4th February 2025

Applications are now open for the Makers Market at our 2025 festival.

Curated by Hopeful & Glorious, the Makers Market is a lively celebration of art, craft, and design from throughout the region. Expect a showcase of unique creations, from handcrafted treasures and limited editions to one-of-a-kind artworks. Think textiles, ceramics, furniture, and so much more!

This year’s marketplace will take place on Saturday 5th July 2025 at Blackburn Cathedral.

Want to be a 2025 stallholder? 

Based in Lancashire, Hopeful & Glorious collaborates with talented makers, interesting venues, and great organisations to produce vibrant events showcasing and selling art.

Their fairs and markets offer visitors the opportunity to meet the makers, learn about their techniques and inspirations, and explore a diverse range of art, craft, and design. As no commission is taken on sales, visitors can be assured that their purchases directly support the makers.
