We recently changed our booking system after engagement with traders and attendees. We opted for a 70% 30% split of existing and new traders. This is to keep the alternative market fresh & evolving in a competitive & saturated scene.

July traders were given priority registration of interest to demonstrate our loyalty. Almost everyone reapplied. 70% were selected. Everyone has now received an email to confirm places. If you haven’t been successful please do not be dismayed it isn’t that we don’t love you and urge to try again in 2025.

The remaining 30% of pitches are now live via an online form for new traders/people who vended before July. This is to reflect the desire for new blood. The form can be found in the linktree in our bio.

We want to see the most unique & darkly delicious vendors. As Leeds is the birthplace of goth subculture & the reason for festival’s existence we do have a proclivity for gothic vendors. We however want to see unique, quality traders who celebrate the weird and wonderful. If what you do is strange & unusual submit an application!

Pitches cost £60 & allocate 6ft by 9ft space & a 6ft by 2ft table We ask people to include links within the form to socials or to submit photos via email. You do not have to be established but your feed/images must be of quality & reflect current stock. It’s also helpful to have a stall photo on your feed for the selection process. If you have any questions on trading or booking please contact our event partners

If you have been successful you will receive an email & booking form on Sunday the 25th of August. Pitches will only be secured with a completed booking form & payment. All payments communication will only come from [email protected]

We expect to be inundated with applications for a relatively small amount of pitches. We gift a number of pitches to charities and heritage stalls which is central to our mission and this will not change.

Good luck! 🕸

BEWARE OF SCAMMERS!

Unfortunately, as The Alternative Market has grown more popular, it has attracted a range of scammers targeting people looking to vend at our markets.

Please note that the Alternative Market is run by a very small team, of Leeds Festival of Gothica and AdVintageous Vintage Fairs & Events staff.

Market communications will ONLY come from [email protected] or [email protected]

Please help keep yourself and others safe and report any scammers you see claiming to be our reps.

Stay Safe!
🖤
