Applications are now open for makers to participate in our Christmas Craft Market 2024!
Professional makers are now invited to apply to be part of our fabulous Christmas Craft Market from 9 November to 21 December - the best festive market on the North Coast!
Our Christmas Craft Market takes place indoors in our ground floor galleries and showcases the best handmade contemporary crafts and artisan food producers, from ceramics to glass, jewellery design to textiles, wood-turning to festive decorations, homeware to stocking fillers, promoting makers from far and wide.
Last year’s market saw the highest market footfall yet and generated gross sales of £28,826.00, and we are excited for this year's market.
We welcome applications from professional makers resident and working within the Causeway Coast and Glens Borough and across Northern Ireland ~ our primary objective is to support and promote professional makers/creatives whose sole income is from their creative work. We particularly welcome applications from new market participants.
What do you have to do?
- Download and complete the attached application form and return to us no later than Friday 20 September 2024, 5pm
- We will notify all applicants by Friday 4 October, 5pm
- All selected makers must set up your stall by Thursday 7 November, 4pm. You don't need to man your stall over the five week market period - we take care of everything. You present your work with all items individually priced and we update you on weekly sales so that you know when to top up your stall. That's all you need to do!
- Collect your unsold items and presentation display by Saturday 4 January.
- We will issue all payments per individual by Friday 31 January 2025.
The market will launch on Saturday 9 November in partnership with Naturally North Coast and Glens Artisan Market who will be resident in our auditorium and outdoors terrace. There will be live music and free festive activities for families.
