We Create Markets

They create opportunities for local artists, makers and sellers to reach new audiences, while giving residents the chance to discover and buy from independent, local talent.

Our markets pop up across the city in a variety of settings, from major festivals to high streets and empty shop spaces, helping bring creativity into everyday places and supporting a thriving local creative economy.

Young Creates is a dedicated market space for young creatives to develop ideas, test products and gain real-world experience in a supportive environment.

Participants build practical skills in product development, design, marketing and selling, while showcasing their work, connecting with the community and trading alongside established local creatives. Young Creates helps emerging talent build confidence, experience and a strong foundation for future creative opportunities.
