You can watch the video below if you would rather get the information in audio format:

We’re excited to kick off 2025 with our first weekend of markets in Kings Cross. We will be welcoming 100+ traders for two mega-markets!

We very much hope you will join us and invite you to apply for the following dates:

  • Saturday 12th April 2025 - The Crossing, Kings Cross

  • Sunday 13th April 2025 - The Crossing, Kings Cross

Applications are open for Crafty Fox Market members ONLY from 22nd January until 28th January. Non-members can apply from 29th January. Applications close on 12th February.

WHAT ARE WE LOOKING FOR?

  • Original work which is either handmade by you or produced in the UK on a small scale using your original designs

  • The markets have a modern aesthetic so consider if your brand has the crafty feel we are looking for - you will find plenty of examples of traders and products at our market on our Facebook and Instagram pages

  • Our events are curated to ensure a balanced mix of traders that will appeal to our audience. We will do our best to spread the opportunity to as many selected traders as possible.

  • We do NOT accept food or drink vendors, vintage traders or re-sellers

  • We are specifically keen to welcome traders who are able to incorporate an element of demonstration or personalisation to their stand. Shoppers love to see the story behind your work and how an item is created, which helps them to feel connected to your products and encourages purchase. Please think about how you could incorporate this into your market stall and make the shopping experience more experiential.

  • We also have opportunities for traders to deliver a workshop for shoppers. Please let us know about your workshop offer, if relevant, in your application form.

KEY INFORMATION ABOUT THE VENUE, MARKET AND PRICING: 

The Crossing, Kings Cross

When: Saturday 12 April & Sunday 13 April, 11am - 5pm

Where: 1 Granary Square, Kings Cross, London, N1C 4AA. We are thrilled to once again be taking over this space, this time for our record breaking mega market! The Crossing is by the entrance of Central St Martins in Kings Cross. Full of natural light and situated next to the historic Granary, which once stored grain for London’s Georgian bakers, we will welcome around 100 traders to each market date.

Timings: Set up from 10am, market open from 11am-5pm.

Transport: Nearest station Kings Cross

Unloading / parking: Loading bay 100m from venue, traders will need to find their own parking.

Price: 6ft trestle table - £99 (incl VAT). Chairs are provided

Need to know: The Crossing is almost cathedral-like in its height and is covered on all sides, however those stalls near the doors which will open at both ends of the venue may find it more breezy.

Why trade: This is a busy venue and the draw of 100 traders in one spot was a real crowd pleaser. We have hosted markets in this space many times before. The load-in / load-out is smooth running and the venue is easy to navigate for shoppers.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ON OUR CANCELLATION POLICY

As a small business ourselves, we spend a significant amount of time negotiating with a venue, securing trading dates, managing the applications for a market and publicising the event and we can find ourselves in a tricky situation in the event of a cancellation.

If your application is successful but subsequently you are unable to attend, we will reference our terms of trading in your refund. If it is more than 30 days before the event, we will refund stall fees minus a £20 administration fee. If it is between 14 - 30 days before the event, we will refund 50% of stall fees. No refunds will be provided if less than 14 days notice is provided regardless of the circumstances.

In the event of a market date being cancelled by us due to forces beyond our control, we will offer a refund on your trading fees, minus £25 per trader. We hope you understand our reasons for doing this and thank you for your consideration.
