“One of the best days out i've had with my friends in a long time, from spending the day supporting my partner on her first stall in an art fair to dancing around playing music with my mates - it was just so so good, i am so eager for the next one.”

– JH [PERFORMER] DEC 2019

“The space was very well organised which made it easier to engage with everyone involved in the market (organisers, sellers, customers...). In my perspective this market was the push I needed to encourage me to show my work and be able to sell it. In a community perspective this kind of events are never enough since promotes proximity and solidarity with your neighbor.”

“I thought it was absolutely fantastic. I had no idea just how many artists where living in the area. I was happy to be given the opportunity to support them! Lovely atmosphere and fantastic art and food.”

– NG [performer] Dec 2019

“I think the best thing was having a community event that showcased your neighbour's skills and talents, not only in art and making, but also music and food! It was such a great event, and I really hope it's a recurring event annually or biannually.”

“It was such an amazing experience to be involved in the market. it feels like had no stress of getting into the application and get the space and all the stuff(Usually getting into the market type of thing as seller is such a hassle) This event was certainly the centre of community's attention and it was great opportunity to get to know the locals.”

“Such a strong feeling of community and support! This outlet for local makers and artists is exciting and rare for the area. Having the opportunity to present work at a low cost and low risk is crucial to helping them grow, gain traction with the community and build a market base. Supporting the Makers Market is direct support for the local hands-on arts community.”

“It was a very well organised event. Very enjoyable. This event could become a very popular attraction for the local community and a lifeline to the arts & crafts community.“

– SG [artist] Dec 2019

“Great vibe. Impressed with how well attended it was for a first outing. This vibrant event was well organised, well attended and provided an enjoyable atmosphere throughout the day. The organisers were able to secure acts of a surprisingly high profile so the entertainment was excellent. I personally spoke to almost all the stall holders, part of my purpose in participating, and found them to be very largely satisfied with their day’s experience. For these reasons I commend this event to you and suggest that it would be well worth your continued support.”

“Loved the market, it had an amazing atmosphere from the music to the traders. This market brings the community together, from small traders to exceptionally talented artists.”

– PL [vegan chef] Dec 2019

“This event gave me some faith in humanity at a time when disconnection seems to be commonplace - it provided a sense of pride in the local community by displaying the plethora of talent found locally as well as creating a buzzing atmosphere of celebration and support for makers. I think the prices were very reasonable and the spirit of the event was very refreshing in that it wasn't high risk, instead just a great opportunity for people to have a go at selling their products/services and being able to gauge the desires of customers. The music was a fantastic addition and so was the food and drink.”

– ETS [VISITOR] DEC 2019

“This event I felt truly brought together a real array and mix of artists, from North London & outside. For me, I really felt part of the community and such joy being there amongst people I care about, but also meeting new faces aswell, was heart warming. Every piece was magically unique, to an impeccable standard and also affordable, which was so refreshing. There were all types of gifts and also experiences for the spiritual community, and as a person who would tick that box I was very appreciative. It was a fantastic all round day and greatly happy to be a part of it. Thanks so much! 🕊🌷🔮X”
