We promote all our stall vacancies on this page, Instagram and Facebook.
We currently have two vacancies, see detailed below. We also welcome applications from prospective traders for our Broadmead Market, Indies Market, and Street Food Market.
Additionally, we are exploring ways to establish new trading spaces in and around St. Nicholas Market. We encourage inquiries from street food traders, especially those with a food trailer or truck, who are interested in pop-up opportunities.
If you would like to discuss these opportunities or arrange a site visit, contact us:
