Folksy Spring Market – apply for your stall now!
We’re thrilled to announce that our online market is coming back for a spring outing! This will be a chance for stallholders to showcase and sell their products, launch collections and reach new customers.
The market will be hosted online on Tresstle, where customers will be able to shop all the virtual stalls. Alongside the shopping, we’re hoping to run craft demonstrations, ‘market walks’ where we talk to stallholders about their products over video, and live interviews on Instagram too.
The Folksy Online Spring Market is happening over the weekend of 14-15 May 2022.
Thinking of applying but want to know more first?
