The Rare Brand Market

Warning to potential traders- We exhibited here at their Christmas Rare Brand Market. Totally appalling, we paid over 400 for a 2x2 space but each exhibitor was crammed right up against each other (tables touching) so no room to leave for the toilet or to sell products. We were also put in a window pitch so our products melted when the sun shone. When I complained about our pitch were were informed that the sun didnt shine the previous year & that is why they didnt think it would be a problem to put a product that melts by the window. No apologies, just excuses. Footfall is also very low for the price of the pitch. I pay less for large summer food festivals than I did for this & there you can at least leave your pitch for the toilet & trade in a correct manner.

Love the Rare Brands market. Have been 3 times to the Christmas market and always find gorgeous and often unusual items. Love supporting local sole traders.

Not recommended for sellers and traders. Considering the location, high price of stands and sales talk from the organisers this should have been a good event for traders, sadly it is not. Footfall is very low and by 2:30pm it was dead. Over 90% of the traders around us were new, (this was their first time at this event) obviously previous years traders were not rebooking , as the event was so poor. We certainly will never rebook or recommend. Unfortunately the only people making money here are the organisers.
