We are delighted to announce that a Christmas Market will take place at the newly redeveloped 3-7 Tontine Street every weekend during December, and we are looking for Folkestone's finest makers and shakers to get involved. Each weekend the market will be packed full of unique gift ideas, bringing together the very best in local hand-made food, drink, art and craft. The venue will feature its own mini cafe serving hot and cold drinks and each weekend we will also be ramping up the festivities with live music and entertainment.
The market will begin on Friday 1 December and will be the very first door of this year's Folkestone Living Advent Calendar! The surprise behind door number one is top secret but we have been told it is going to have the wow factor so expect big crowds!
Our schedule is as follows:
Fri 1 Dec, opening party, 4-7pm
Sat 2 & Sun 3 Dec, 11am - 4pm
Sat 9 & Sun 10 Dec, 11am - 4pm
Sat 16 & Sun 17 Dec, 11am - 4pm
If you would like to apply for a table please submit details including links to your work and a list of dates that you would prefer. We will give preference to artists and makers that are able to commit to more dates and whole weekends. Stalls will be £20 per day, payable in advance. Applications are open to creatives working in hand-made food, drink, art or craft.
Please send an email with your ideas for a stall and availability to sophiedocherty@creativefoundation.org.uk
