Bring a Craft & Curios Event to Your Venue
Have the space for a brilliant event but don’t want the headache of finding dozens of suitable traders yourself?
That’s where we come in.
Craft & Curios works with venues, businesses and organisations to create curated craft markets and themed events, drawing on our growing network of independent makers, crafters and creative businesses.
From the initial idea and event theme to finding the right mix of traders, we can help turn an empty space into an event people genuinely want to explore.
Events Designed Around Your Venue
No two venues are the same, so no two events need to be either.
We can develop an event around your location, audience, available space and time of year, creating something that feels right for your venue rather than simply dropping in a standard format.
Whether you already have an idea in mind or just know you’d like to bring more people through your doors, we’d be happy to explore what could work.

We Find the Right Traders
One of the hardest parts of organising a successful market is finding the right mix of businesses.
Craft & Curios is building a growing network of independent makers, artists, designers, crafters and creative businesses.
We can help bring together a varied collection of traders to suit your event, venue and audience, creating something that feels interesting and carefully considered rather than simply filling a room with stalls.
Creating Events People Want to Visit
A successful market is about more than the stalls themselves.
We want visitors to arrive and feel there’s plenty to explore — interesting products, independent businesses and things they may not find on the high street.
Our aim is to create welcoming events that support independent businesses while giving venues another way to attract visitors, engage with their local community and make use of their space.
