Mega-You Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 As a local trader, I enquired to all the markets around Sheffield and ALL of them have stalls for casual traders, available on a daily basis for around £20 per day. This includes Rotherham, Barnsley, Chesterfield, Huddersfield, Penistone & Holmfirth - except Sheffield. Even if they did this, apparently no one wants to shop there! Sheffield doesn't seem to want to attract or encourage small traders, who tend to spend all their money locally and boost the local economy. When you find a market on holiday, it's usually full of individual stalls selling unusual or unique goods, and even if you don't buy, you enjoy browsing and the general atmosphere. Why can't we have something like that in Sheffield? If you go to craft fairs and farmers markets, they are usually well-organised and sell the most incredible and unusual stuff that you can't buy in department stores. I'm going to organise a band of lovely local makers and traders, and get them into easily accessible venues around the City and beyond! Please get in touch if you have any ideas, suggestions, or want to get involved, as a trader, an organiser or to suggest a venue. Let's keep it local!!
