We have limited indoor places but a good number of outdoor spaces for vendors with their own gazebos and tables

....over competition, but a community that will continue to support one another and help each other grow.

We promise to continue to build a community, that unites when it needs to and show that handmade IS where we should be investing our time, love and money.

A community that understands the highs and lows of owning their own business, and screams from the top of the hills when the successes come. We'll be there with you, don't you worry!

Our promise to you, is to keep community over competition at the heart of what we will bring in 2025. Are you in?

The cut off dates to apply to join our markets are pinned to the top of our IG, but here is a reminder of them...

If you are a small batch artisan maker or producer living and working in Scotland, we would love to hear from you!

We got news... 👇

A listing on our stallholder directory for just £60 for the year. This is a fab new offering which works out at just £5 a month (paid annually). 🎉

Why are we bringing this in? 👇

Currently, our membership includes both our directory listing and access to our stallholder community. However, we wanted to give business owners the opportunity to choose an affordable option in current climates, which will have an impact* digitally on business and may suit needs better right now.

Listing your business on a directory is not a new concept; in fact, it’s been a common business practice for many years. With customers using Pedddle to discover markets, connect with small businesses, and reconnect with stallholders they’ve encountered at markets, it’s an excellent platform to enhance your visibility and be easily found.

The SEO benefits are huge too - listing on a website which is relevant for your business is beneficial, plus you get opportunity to optimise your images and as you can virtually check in at markets, you appear on lots of pages on Pedddle increasing your digital footprint. This is only for directory listing that allows you to virtually check in at markets.

Give your business a boost from day one of 2025. Click the link in our bio to join as a directory listing only.



*impact digitally based on good page creation, maximising for SEO, interacting and checking in on market pages.

#2025 we are ready! 💪🙌🙏

You gotta be brave in todays climate but also patient and sit out the set backs which, in this economic state, are inevitable. Finally, be persistent, keep fighting, keep dreaming, keep planning and one day, you will make headway and then concur.

Brave decisions can sometimes come in the form of choosing to stop - sometimes giving up is the right thing to do. But if you still have a glimmer of hope or a burning desire to make the business successful, then you keep going!

Be brave, patient and persistent. 💪🙌🙏

Share to stories to let others know you are here and fighting. Join us. 🎉

Enjoy the snow ❄️❄️
