BECOME A TRADER @ HOLT SUNDAY MARKET 2027

2027

Would you like to join a community of independent traders brought together by shared values of quality, provenance, sustainability and fairness?

We are beginning the planning and curation process for the 2027 Holt Sunday Market, which will comprise ten markets: the first Sunday of each month from April to December, together with an additional festive market on Sunday 21 November 2027.

To comply fully with all licensing policies, the market will be arranged into clearly defined trading zones. Artisan Food & Drink Zone, located entirely within Bakers Yard and Artisan Makers located entirely on Market Place.

Space in both areas is extremely limited, and we are inviting high-quality independent producers and traders to register their interest by completing our Expression of Interest form:

Trading Requirements

Successful applicants for the 2027 Artisan Makers Zone will be required to:

  • Hold appropriate and current Public Liability Insurance

  • Be a genuine maker rather than a reseller

  • Comply with all relevant safety, licensing and trading requirements

  • Attend 5 or 10 markets in 2027

  • Pay the appropriate Membership Fee and Pitch Fee*

Expressions of Interest

Holt Sunday Market is carefully curated to create a varied, high-quality and complementary mix of traders.

The Expression of Interest form is not a formal application and completing it does not guarantee a place at the market. It will help us understand your business, the products you offer and how they align with our Artisan Market Policy.

We will review the expressions of interest received and may invite businesses that appear to be a strong fit to submit a formal application.

Please note that the selection process will also take into account your Instagram and wider social media activity, the quality and provenance of your products, the presentation and suitability of your business for Holt, and your reliability and commitment to attending all markets booked.

We look forward to hearing from you.

Holt Sunday Market.
