Something big is coming and we have been so excited to share this with you. 2026 marks a landmark year for Curated Makers. For the first time, we are bringing our markets to not one, not two, but three incredible cities across the UK.
London, Manchester and Liverpool; each one a vibrant, creative hub, and each one a perfect home for the kind of independent, maker-led market that Curated Makers has become known for.
Why Markets?
At Curated Makers, everything we do is rooted in one belief; that independent makers, creatives and artists deserve exceptional platforms to share their work with the world. Our stores at Battersea Power Station, The Bluecoat and our three RHS Garden Centre concessions have allowed us to do exactly that. But markets give us something entirely different. They are electric, energetic and accessible, and they open up a whole new world of opportunity for small creative businesses who are ready to get in front of new audiences.
We have seen first hand the impact that the right market, in the right location, can have on an independent business. And in 2026, we want to create that impact on a scale we have never done before.
Three Cities. Hundreds of Opportunities.
Across our three market locations: Battersea Power Station in London, and brand new events in both Manchester and Liverpool... there will be hundreds of opportunities for small creative businesses to trade, connect and grow.
Liverpool holds a very special place in the Curated Makers story. Those who know us well will already have a sense of where this one is headed, our home at The Bluecoat speaks for itself. Bringing a market to this city feels like a natural and very exciting next step.
Manchester, however, is something else entirely. We are beyond thrilled to be partnering with an exceptional and exclusive venue to bring Curated Makers Markets to this city for the very first time. This is a location we cannot wait to reveal and when we do, we think you will understand exactly why we are so excited. Watch this space.
We will be hosting multiple curations across the year, spanning Spring, Summer and the festive season, with different line-ups at each event to ensure variety, freshness and as many opportunities as possible for makers at every stage of their journey.
Whether you are an established name or just starting out, whether you have worked with Curated Makers before or are completely new to us... these markets are for you.
How It Works
Each market will have its own dedicated application window. When applications open for a specific event, you will be able to apply directly through this page and we always announce them on Instagram too. We review every single application personally and will always be in touch as soon as possible once a window closes.
Applications are open on a market-by-market basis, so we encourage you to check back regularly and apply as soon as a window opens. Spaces are limited and we expect demand to be high.
What's Open Right Now
We will update this page as each market is announced, so bookmark it and keep checking back. Every new announcement will be shared here first, alongside our social channels.
Applications now open for:
Battersea Power Station | 22 May - 25 May 2026 | Market Application Pack
Closing date Sunday 19 April 2026
