About

The Shipley Art Gallery will host two Christmas Craft Markets in 2025 on Saturday 29 November and 6 December. We are seeking crafters and makers to sell handmade items at the events. 

In addition to the craft market stalls we will have crafting activities for all ages and a pop-up cafe.


Requirements:

  • Public Liability Insurance to the value of £5m.
  • No edible items may be sold. Our cafe must be the only food offer on site.
  • You may book a maximum of one stall (not two adjacent tables), on one or both dates.

Additional information:

  • All items sold must be original and handmade.
  • Recommended pricing of items (based on feedback of previous events): £3 - £50.
  • You may book a maximum of one stall, so that we have 20 different stalls at each event.
  • Your stall will be one trestle table supplied by us.
  • We cannot guarantee access to a plug socket.
  • Payment by cash or card must be accepted and you are responsible for all tech and cashflow.

Display methods:

The price is for one table (provided by the gallery) measuring 182cm L, 69cm W, 70cm H. Stallholders will need to provide their own table covering. You may bring a maximum of two freestanding items to go on the floor in front of your stall (for example browsers, plinths, pop up banners etc.) You must provide details of what you are bringing in advance, and we reserve the right to prevent the use of anything that poses a safety risk. 

Arrival times:
We are staggering arrival times to ensure smooth running. Please arrive promptly. The market opens at 11am and all stalls must be set up in good time for this. Unfortunately if you arrive after 11am we cannot guarantee your stall. We will be in touch by email regarding all the arrangements for parking etc.

Marketing:
After you book a stall you should supply proof of your PLI and images for our marketing. Please note, we will use our discretion when marketing and do not guarantee to include all of the images you supply.

Proof of PLI and marketing images should be emailed to: Hannah.Mackay-Jackson@twmuseums.org.uk
