Apply to Artelium’s Sussex Spring Makers Market 2026
Saturday 7th March
10 am - 4pm
We're inviting exceptional craftspeople, artists, and producers to apply for one of 17 available stalls.
Last year’s Spring Makers Market was a great success, welcoming over 150 visitors. This year, we’ve scheduled the market for a similar time, just ahead of Mother’s Day, making it the perfect opportunity for thoughtful gifting and a memorable day spent celebrating with mum.
Alongside the quality and presentation of your work, we carefully consider how each stall complements the overall market — aiming for a thoughtfully curated mix of craft, art, and produce that offers variety and balance.
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!
If you’re passionate about what you make and want to be part of a vibrant, high-quality event, we’d love to hear from you. To apply, please fill out the form linked below.
Applications close at midnight on 25th January.
Why Exhibit at Our Spring Market
Artelium will be offering wine tastings throughout the day, our bar will be open & we’ll be offering seasonal snacks 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 hot drinks (& some wine later on in the day)
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
