Help please! 🥰

Good afternoon! As most of you are aware I have a huge passion for small businesses! 😍 Rather than running as many markets this year, I have decided to look at opening a little shop stocking small traders and home makers. So I wanted to pop a post on to see if anyone would be interested in selling their things in a shop in Elland. :)

The shop would be "rent a shelf/space" and the prices would vary depending upon how much space you wanted.

I'd love to hear your thoughts! Please comment or drop me a message here, on whatsapp or via email if this would be of interest to you. 🥰

We may have cancelled our market today but there is still plenty of shopping to be had in Elland! Song Bird Cafe-Bar have an amazing array of stalls at their market today! Make sure you pop down before 3pm so you don't miss out!

We are ready and set up for our Christmas Market!!

We have very limited seating to sit in but we are offering take away.

Come support your local crafters and businesses.

We also want to give a special thank you to Greetland Community Centre for being so supportive in our decision to cancel.
They fully understood and saw all the effort we had put in.
We look forward to working with you in 2023. And if your thinking of using the Centre we definitely recommend them.

A lot of you have been concerned about traders with perishable goods. We called each one personally before any other traders as we know they would be the ones who could potentially lose the most. Thankfully they all make fresh so prep had not yet started for the vast majority. Cara-lea's Cakery and SerboBrit Food have been so understanding as have Bacup Pies.
Unfortunately the cancelling of the event has come at a cost for us, we paid for advertising and the venue but we would rather take that hit than traders and customers turn up to a below par event. We pride ourselves on providing an exceptional event for both traders and customers.
Due to the withdrawal of so many confirmed traders this was no longer possible. We understand that illness and unforseen circumstances happen and unfortunately it led to us being unable to go ahead.

We hope you all have a great end to 2022 and hope to see you all under better circumstances in 2023.

We apologise, but we have had to make the difficult decision tonight to cancel this event.
It has come at a cost to ourselves but we want our customers and traders to have the best experience.
We just couldn't provide this with so many confirmed traders having to cancel due to illness and other unforseen circumstances so close to the event.
We have never had to cancel, not even in covid times.
We hope this is our one and only time we have to do this. We wish you all the best for the rest of 2022 and hope to see you in better circumstances in 2023.

If you are a trader booked on this event, we have emailed you all before announcing this on socials but we are aware that it's late in the evening so please check your inbox. If you need further assistance please email [email protected]

The banner got put back up yesterday. It was much more windy last week so it just wouldn't stay but new ties and milder winds meant its back into position.
