Prior Shop is an independent Not-For-Profit Conscious Lifestyle Shop in Bristol that showcases some of the UK's upcoming and leading responsible designers. Committed to conscious living and consumption, we showcase beautiful design-led, handcrafted work that is made responsibly, sustainably and mindfully.

MEET THE MAKERS MARKET

Key facts:

Indoor event - 2 day market (leave stall set up overnight)
Sat 10am - 6pm and Sun 11 - 5pm (trading hours of Cabot Circus)
10 - 12 stalls (6ft x 2ft tables)
Power and Wifi available.
Tables and chairs are provided. If you require any other set up, it must be supplied by you.
Opportunity is only for sustainable and responsible designers.
We will promote the event heavily - posters in Cabot Circus toilets and carpark, flyers, listings in local directories, social media, website, newsletters, local press and so much more.
We will create 'maker spotlights' for our social media channels and website.
Easy unloading and loading/ plus storage if needed until Monday.
£65 for the weekend (£32.50 per day, £4.64 per hour) June - September.
£80 for the weekend (£40 per day, £5.71 per hour) October - December
No designated parking available - traders will have to park in Cabot Circus Carpark or nearby NCP's
We have 2 stalls available for our current makers so that they can showcase their whole collection and our regular customers can meet their favourite makers. If this is you - you still need to apply!
We will not have regular stall holders each month. Artists/designers will change every month so lots of makers can have the opportunity of selling in a prime retail environment.
We will do everything we can to promote the event but we cannot guarantee customer spending - as much as we wish we could!

We are very passionate about sustainability in design. We believe sustainable products combine 4 main elements: the choice of low-impact material, responsible manufacturing, longevity of timeless design and high quality craftmanship so that the product could last a lifetime. We know that it is impossible to be 100% sustainable and ethical so we just ask that designers are being as responsible as possible within their practice.

Please note - there is only space for 10 - 12 pitches and we get lots of applications for this market. I hate having to choose people and in turn, letting people down - it is the worst part of having a shop and organising events like this. I'm so, so, so sorry in advance for those who don't get a pitch.

When we let you know you have been successful - payment of £65 / £80 (or a £24 deposit) will be required. Failure to pay will result in the stall being offered to another maker.

Thank you

Beck & Team
