Join us at We Out Here Festival: 15th - 18th Aug 2024 (arrival Weds 14th August)
Edit (18th March) - we are now FULL for Crafty Fox Market & Sustainable Fashion Market but open for gazebo traders.
We Out Here festival is a “celebratory weekend of raucous dance and cosmic jazz”(Guardian, 5 star review), brought to you by Gilles Peterson and the team behind Dimensions, Outlook and Sunfall festivals. 2024 will be the 5th year of We Out Here and the 4rd time that Crafty Fox Market has had a presence at the festival.
“Joining the musical dots between soul, hip hop, house, afro, electronica, jazz and beyond, we showcase both outstanding live music and some of the best record collections in the world. We also place an emphasis on high quality food and drink offerings, arts and cultural offerings, crisp sound and production, family activities and wellness: all to compliment quality-led musical curation.” Check out the line-up for this year’s festival here.
The capacity is in the region of 16,000 and the crowd is diverse with all ages represented. It takes places in Wimborne St Giles, Dorset, with a seven-acre lake, stretches of woodland walks and tucked-away pockets of forest to explore.
Here’s a couple of feedback quotes from previous traders which sum up the vibe:
“We love the community of CFM tent! The CFM team is so friendly, welcoming and professional. The old and new traders send good vibes. WOH festival with CFM is like going on holidays with good friends to a well known spot where the good things (people, music, food, drink, nature) is always guaranteed. We cannot wait to come back.”
“Everyone loved the brands in attendance, people were so kind and chill and friendly. It was also a great way to meet with more clientele, so I am hoping it will affect online sales in the next week or so too”
