Participate in curated makers markets showcasing independent creatives, handmade products, workshops, live performances and creating a vibrant community shopping experience.
Closing date: 26 Jul 2026
Applications are now open to join Support The Makers Winter Market season. They welcome applications from makers, artists, designers, and creative small businesses for upcoming markets at Portobello Town Hall, Haddington Corn Exchange, Lind & Lime Distillery, and a Young Makers Market at Portobello Baptist Church.
These carefully curated markets are designed to celebrate creativity, champion local talent, and create meaningful connections between makers and customers. Each market brings together an inspiring collection of independent makers, artists, designers, and small businesses, showcasing a wide variety of handmade and locally produced products. From jewellery, ceramics, candles, textiles, artwork, and homewares to clothing, accessories, plants, gifts, and seasonal collections, the events offer visitors the opportunity to discover unique products that cannot be found on the high street.
More than just a market, Support the Makers creates welcoming community events where people can meet the faces behind the brands, hear the stories behind the products, and shop with purpose. They are passionate about encouraging people to shop small, support local, and invest in the creative businesses that help communities thrive.
These events provide an excellent opportunity to showcase your work, connect with new customers, and become part of a supportive community that celebrates independent creativity.
Whether you're an established business, an emerging maker, a workshop host, or a young entrepreneur taking your first steps into trading, Support the Makers offers a vibrant and inclusive space where creativity is celebrated, small businesses are valued, and communities come together.
