Your work is
Artistic, Design led, modern and high quality and your an independent maker or small independent team creating in the UK, some of our spaces for inspiration that align with what we are looking for Liberty London, Tate Modern Shop, Milieu Studios (St ives), Lifestory (Edinburgh), YSP shop, Or (Skye), colours may vary (Leeds) and Idaho (altrincham) Toast.
Your Style
As endless love has grown our curation has evolved alongside our makers, we feature both emerging and established makers at the Markets, looking for creatives who have a clear visual identity, professional stall set up and market there work on social platforms, with a website that complements the work you sell.
There are two halves to ELC our vibrant, modern, design led illustrators and printers, who make gorgeous unique greetings cards and playful washi Tapes printed with indie printers in the UK. Then theres our craft makers, hand building, carving, weaving small batch or one of a kind pieces, these are higher price points that honour traditional craft and slow process. Endless Love see’s the beauty in both as one often leads to the next and can sit together when curated thoughtfully. Print is often an accessible price point for young new to art and design visitors, which then opens them up to a world of traditional art and craft, we’re proud to bring these worlds together.
What we don’t feature
Bought in goods or outsourced on scale goods designed by yourself and bought in high volumes. Our makers work is priced and valued to represent the time it takes to craft independently, to a visitor who is new to markets the chances are they would not be able to differentiate between an item bought in bulk of high quality with an item made by one person in a local studio of high quality, when sold in the same setting, meaning there is often price undercutting and we aim to showcase small independents who have similar price points
No discounted or sale items, at our markets our visitors expect full price and the highest standard you create. There is a caveat to this that for items like greeting cards or digital prints that a promo or exclusive for the market itself is suitable. Please mention any promotional offers you may do on application.

We asked for feedback from our last two markets in Sheffield and Newcastle.
What’s your favourite thing about an endless love creative market?
The friendliness & lovely atmosphere. A great mix of ages of interesting & interested visitors/customers & also the footfall :) | The footfall! It was non-stop for the entire event. And the people. Everyone/staff/stallholders are all so lovely and supportive. | Just vibes and community | The atmosphere was amazing. This was my 2nd time trading at ELC and everytime I feel so inspired by other creatives and customers | the organisation and other lovely makers! we always feel so looked after. also the customers are always amazing | First time in Sheffield and loved how easy the set up was, easy access with the car park on the same road and natural light at the table. | Lovely vibes as always | Nice people | The atmosphere, the way you run the event, the other makers. I say it every-time, but just the best most wholesome event and a joy to be apart of | The buzz | Everything! We absolutely loved it!

We understand that a pop up market in particular takes lots of nurturing and promotion, so I balance maker support, a sense of community and creating a striking visual identity that suits the curation and attracts the right visitor.
You will
have a table and seat provided on the day
artwork that will inspire and engage an art loving visitor we work with artist Han Valentine to create posters and flyers we can put around the city.
a directory on our website, this is a go to for showcasing your work for the 4 weeks before and until the next round of Markets, we’ll include your webshop and instagram handle so you’re easy to find and reach out too, particularly helpful for visitors who missed out on the day.
a group instagram chat for four weeks running up to the market, this is a really easy and accessible way to keep in the loop, find out all the info and ask questions to myself and fellow makers.
a curated market, the selection process of these events means that you will be featured alongside artists that are contemporary and design led, people who appreciate craftmanship and connection, many collaborations and friendships have come from being part of elc markets, as well as wholesale partnerships from visitors.
Promotion from us online and IRL
a team on the day to support and a direct contact with me, Char , on the 4 week run up to the event. I’ll be your go to for questions.
What’s not included
power supply, you will require a battery pack and some locations it is useful to have a table light to elevate your set up.
a table cloth, which you will need.
photo portraits, though we do have photographers at the event they have been asked to join us to capture the day and atmosphere, sometimes you may feature and are more than welcome to use these but we cannot promise to take portraits of all makers.
Zoom calls, if you have joined previous markets you will be aware of our group calls, something we started in lock down that was an essential place to connect, now moving on, with feedback it’s clear that this isn’t a key part of your experience and a group chat has been a more popular and accessible way to connect.
