Apply to Artelium’s Sussex Christmas Makers Market 2025
Saturday 6th December
10 am - 4pm
After three incredibly successful years, we’re excited to announce the return of our curated Christmas Makers Market.
Our markets present a curated offering of contemporary craft and artisanal products from a selection of likeminded craftspeople and artists.
We're inviting exceptional craftspeople, artists, and producers to apply for one of 17 available stalls.
Our past three markets have been a great success, with last year drawing our largest crowd yet — over 300 visitors in a single day. If you’re passionate about what you make and want to be part of a vibrant, high-quality festive event, we’d love to hear from you.
We’re especially interested in seeing work which responds to nature in some way, whether that’s through natural materials, aesthetic inspiration, or an angle of sustainability. We're particularly interested in platforming Sussex makers, although we'd still like to hear from you if you're based elsewhere! To apply, please fill out the form below.
Why Exhibit at Our Christmas Market
Artelium will be offering wine tastings throughout the day and our restaurant and bar will be open to keep guests fed and watered, resulting in a longer visit per person and an extended purchasing window. The event is all about accessibility, being free to attend for consumers but requiring pre-registration, so you know expected footfall.
The costing and format of the event therefore is designed with both producer benefit and smoothness of consumer experience in mind.
There will be:
Low pitch fee (£75 per maker/producer)
Tables provided
Complimentary tea & coffee
Wi-Fi for your payment systems
No minimum / maximum number of products on show
A dedicated section about you on our website, with back-links to your website / Instagram page
A series of Instagram-based promotions across stories and posts
A newsletter sent out to a curated list of potential buyers
Stall Information and Requirements
What we’re looking for from our makers:
A beautifully curated stall
Promotion of the event to your audience and mailing list
A commitment to attending the event yourself. This event will be marketed as an opportunity for consumers to meet the craftspeople, makers, and owners of fantastic local businesses
