Next Events = April 4th The Venue, Holt & April 11th Blakeney Village Hall

Holt Community Centre - Saturday April 4th - 4 more spaces available due to Venue improvements - Click to apply

​

Holt Community Centre - Saturday May 2nd - Deadline Friday 22nd March - Click to apply

​

Each of our Holt Community Centre dates can accommodate up to 35 exhibitors, 2 workshops and a hot food caterer and sweet baker. We are working closely with Love Holt, the local Chamber of Trade, to promote the events and ensure good footfall. The centre has undergone an extensive refurbishment during 2019 and consistently promotes it's events in local press and with local advertising.

 

I will be looking to take at least half of the exhibitors from guild member applications, some from new businesses that have not exhibited much or ever before and the rest of spaces will go to non guild members. You do not need to be a guild member to apply for these events. Each month will feature different exhibitors so while you can apply to be included for all dates you will not be chosen for all of them.

 

Each date has a separate application form which you can access by clicking on the date for the event you are interested in. One form will be opened as the previous one closes. February is our launch event and will have the heaviest investment in marketing to get us started with a bang.

​

This is a high end event. It will be carefully curated for quality products, strong branding and pricing for profit. I advise that you have a small range of 'pocket money' items alongside your main range as Holt has a diverse community that will want to purchase items at a range of prices. 

​
