APPLY NOW: Crafty Fox Market at The British Library (9 & 10 May 2026)

We’re excited to be curating our first weekend of spring markets at The British Library. We will be welcoming 40+ traders for two markets!

We very much hope you will join us and invite you to apply for the following dates:

  • Saturday 9th May 2026 - The British Library

  • Sunday 12th April 2026 - The British Library

Applications are open for Crafty Fox Market members ONLY from 16th February until 23rd February. Non-members can apply from 24th February. Applications close on 3rd March.

WHAT ARE WE LOOKING FOR?

  • Original work which is either handmade by you or produced in the UK on a small scale using your original designs

  • The markets have a modern aesthetic so consider if your brand has the crafty feel we are looking for - you will find plenty of examples of traders and products at our market on our Facebook and Instagram pages

  • Our events are curated to ensure a balanced mix of traders that will appeal to our audience. We will do our best to spread the opportunity to as many selected traders as possible.

  • We do NOT accept food or drink vendors, vintage traders or re-sellers

  • We are specifically keen to welcome traders who are able to incorporate an element of demonstration or personalisation to their stand. Shoppers love to see the story behind your work and how an item is created, which helps them to feel connected to your products and encourages purchase. Please think about how you could incorporate this into your market stall and make the shopping experience more experiential.

  • We also have opportunities for traders to deliver a workshop for shoppers. Please let us know about your workshop offer, if relevant, in your application form.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ON OUR CANCELLATION POLICY

As a small business ourselves, we spend a significant amount of time negotiating with a venue, securing trading dates, managing the applications for a market and publicising the event and we can find ourselves in a tricky situation in the event of a cancellation.

If your application is successful but subsequently you are unable to attend, we will reference our terms of trading in your refund. If it is more than 30 days before the event, we will refund stall fees minus a £20 administration fee. If it is between 14 - 30 days before the event, we will refund 50% of stall fees. No refunds will be provided if less than 14 days notice is provided regardless of the circumstances.

In the event of a market date being cancelled by us due to forces beyond our control, we will offer a refund on your trading fees, minus £25 per trader. We hope you understand our reasons for doing this and thank you for your consideration.

HOW TO APPLY:

By applying for a place at Crafty Fox Market, you are agreeing to our terms of trading and cancellation policy. Please take a moment to read these.

We very much look forward to receiving your application and endeavour to come back to you with a response within 10 days of applications closing. Please ensure catherine.palmer@craftyfoxmarket.co.uk is received by your primary inbox as email is our method of communication with traders.
