 After the success of our Summer Market with Bird in Borrowed Feathers we are pleased to announce our Winter Market! Our Winter Market will be taking place on the 22nd - 23rd November at the beautiful Cobden Chambers, Pelham Street, Nottingham. After much struggle to find a suitable venue, we have finally settled upon the beautiful Cobden Chambers! Our Winter Market will take place both inside Cobden Place and outside in the courtyard. Cobden Place is currently being renovated and turned into a fab department store for local creative businesses, until it's completed we have been given the opportunity to utilise some of the space for our Winter Market. We are now accepting applications from stallholders! You can now apply online, it's a quick and easy application process. The Winter Market will be a two day event, with stalls available for the full two days only, both inside and outside. We will have an exciting new section of the market dedicated to students and recent graduates. There are limited spaces available, these stalls will be half size and at a discounted price! The deadline for applications is the 5th October. We will be informing successful applicants by the 10th October. Visit Bird in Borrowed Feathers to apply

 I have been really busy the past few months working with with Hannah and Georgia from Bird in Borrowed Feathers on our first market which happened last weekend. I have been interested in getting in to organising events for a while now so when Hannah and Georgia approached me to work with them I was over the moon! It was such a great experience and the event had a great response despite us having to deal with extreme heat and rain! All images by Hannah Stevens Setting up We hosted our event at The Vintage Warehouse, Nottingham. It used to be a warehouse filled with vintage clothes but is now an events venue. It’s a great space with plenty of space and light. Exhbitors We had a great selection of handmade and vintage exhibitors and we even had different stall holders each day to keep the market fresh and interesting for people revisiting Activities We really wanted our event to be a weekend out for the whole family so as well as our great stalls we had a seleciton of fun workshops, some free and some with a small fee.
