Festive Makers Market

Get into the festive spirit at FUSEBOX this December with our very first Festive Makers Market!

This Christmas, FUSEBOX is opening its doors to makers, artists and creatives for our Festive Makers Market — and we want to hear from you!

Whether you make jewellery, prints, paintings, ceramics, books, candles, illustrations, decorations, textiles, gifts or something completely unique, we want to give you a platform to showcase and sell your fantastic work.

We’re looking for makers and small creative businesses of all kinds to join us for a festive day at FUSEBOX. It’s a chance to meet new audiences, sell your work and be part of something we hope will become a regular part of the FUSEBOX programme.

Key Dates:

  • Submissions open: Wednesday 23 September 2026
  • Submissions close: Sunday 1 November 2026
  • Successful applicants notified: Week commencing 2 November 2026
  • Festive Makers Market: Sunday 6 December 2026

Stall Information:

£40 + VAT per table

There is ZERO commission from FUSEBOX — what you sell is yours to keep.

We want the market to be a straightforward and affordable opportunity for makers to reach new audiences, so there are no additional commissions taken from your sales.

Tables & Display

We have a range of table options available, including:

  • Circular tables
  • 4ft trestle tables
  • 6ft trestle tables
  • Café-style tables

Tables will be allocated first come, first served, subject to availability and the requirements of your stall. You are also welcome to bring your own table.

When submitting, please let us know whether you require a FUSEBOX table and, if so, your preferred option. You can also add any requirements or additional information about your display in the comments section.

We can also offer, on a first come, first served basis:

  • Display stands
  • Our exhibition cages
  • STAS hanging rails already installed within the space

Please let us know what you might need when submitting so we can do our best to accommodate you.

Taking Payments

FUSEBOX is unable to provide card machines or payment facilities, so exhibitors will need to arrange their own method of taking payment.

We will provide secure private fibre Wi-Fi within the venue, so you can use your own card payment system or other online payment method.

☕ For Our Exhibitors

As part of the day, exhibitors will receive:

  • Complimentary hot and soft beverages
  • Access to secure private Wi-Fi
  • A discount on future FUSEBOX venue hire
  • Inclusion in the FUSEBOX Festive Makers Market webpage, including your maker/business information and social links

We’ll be promoting the overall event through FUSEBOX marketing channels, and each participating maker/business will have a dedicated listing on our website with a short bio/description and links to your website or social media.

🍰 Food & Drink

Food and drink makers are welcome to apply.

However, please note that FUSEBOX cannot provide refrigeration, cooking, heating or preparation facilities.

Food products should therefore be suitable for sale as takeaway/packaged goods, such as packaged sweets, baked goods or other products that do not require on-site refrigeration or heating.

Please include details of your proposed food products in your application.

Financial Accessibility

We want this opportunity to be accessible to makers who might otherwise find the stall fee difficult to meet.

A limited number of spaces are available with the £40 + VAT registration fee waived for makers experiencing personal or financial circumstances that would make the standard fee a barrier to taking part.

If you feel you may meet this criteria, please select the relevant option on the application form and contact archie@creativeyouthcharity.org. You don’t need to go into detail on the public application form — we’re happy to have a confidential conversation with you about your circumstances.

These spaces are limited and will be allocated on a case-by-case basis.

Ready to join us?

Complete the application form below and tell us a little about yourself, your work and what you’d like to bring to the Festive Makers Market.

We’re excited to discover what you’ve been making!

A new FUSEBOX tradition

We’ve wanted to create an opportunity like this at FUSEBOX for a while, and we’re really excited to finally bring our first Festive Makers Market to life.

This is intended to be the beginning of something bigger. We hope to continue developing makers’ markets at FUSEBOX on a regular basis, creating more opportunities for artists, makers and creative businesses to connect with audiences, sell their work and be part of the creative community in Kingston.

Come and make FUSEBOX festive with us!
