…makers markets are almost always shite.
Occasionally you’ll find a good pie, but that’s it.
Let’s stop pretending we’re enjoying them.

The Levenshulme one’s the only one I’ve been to which isn’t 99% middle-aged white people talking about their dogs.

Alright for a free sample, not alright for charging 35 quid for a bottle of rum or whatever
Like the stalls that do the ott brownies but thats about it.
Not really. A makers market is like a mixture between a farmers market and a crafts market, I guess.
It’s specifically crafts people selling tat that irks me.
I like traditional markets and flea markets, etc.

There’s a specific thing with makers markets and independent shops which annoys me. Why are they so fucking obsessed with Frida Kahlo? Leave her alone, man. Every shop and stall, ffs.

I reckon the problem is, if you’re a crafty person people are always telling you you should go into business. So some people do, except then it’ll quickly become obvious that if you want to earn a living there are really two main ways to make that happen for most crafts - 1. Sell a small number of high quality items at a really high price, or 2. Find something you can make quickly in high volume and not worry if it’s shit, if anyone actually wants a book folded into the word ‘love’ or a spray painted pine cone or whatever, or if you even enjoyed making it.

Love it when a good old fashioned head shop just spawns in one of these. Jam shop, jam shop, ooh weed grinder.

I much preferred it when it was in Stafford! Been the Trentham one a couple of times and it just gets so busy, it was much nicer when it was in Stafford. (Coincidentally im heading to Stafford for coffee this morning 
).
I assume you haven’t been in the dog thread.
