South Wales Makers’ Market is a non-profit collective built around a shared passion: supporting Welsh crafters and celebrating the art of handmade goods. With a friendly, welcoming atmosphere and 40+ talented traders, we bring together traditional skills and contemporary creativity under one roof.
South Wales Makers’ Market proudly exhibits throughout the year at well-loved venues such as St Fagans Museum, the Royal Welsh Showground, Vale of Glamorgan Shows, Brecon Show, Margam Food Festival, and many more. We regularly appear during bank holidays, school holidays, and across several festive weekends in the lead-up to Christmas. With over 7,000 followers and a growing reputation for quality and warmth, our market brings a vibrant, welcoming presence to every event we attend.
Everything you’ll find at our market is made by hand, with care and pride. Our traders offer a wide range of styles, from classic Welsh craftsmanship to bold, modern designs. Whether you’re searching for ceramics, textiles, woodwork, skincare, jewellery, artists or homeware, you’ll discover quality goods made to high standards by people who truly care about what they do.
But our market is more than just a place to shop – it’s a space for connection and community. Our business owners are friendly, passionate, and always happy to share the stories behind their work. We believe in building strong relationships with our visitors, fellow traders, and local communities. Everyone is welcome here and we’re proud to be a diverse and inclusive space where creativity is celebrated.
We’re also committed to sustainability. Many of our traders use recycled or renewable materials, and some even power their work with solar energy. Eco-consciousness is at the heart of our market, and we’re always looking for ways to reduce our impact and support a greener future.
South Wales Makers’ Market supports the growth of small businesses and offers opportunities for new and young makers to find their feet. We actively encourage young people to explore their creativity and learn practical skills, providing a platform for them to launch their own trades and thrive in a supportive environment.
Workshops are another part of what makes us unique. Many of our traders are happy to demonstrate their craft. Visitors can enjoy hands-on experiences that spark inspiration, build confidence, and deepen appreciation for handmade art.
As a full market, we’re ready to travel and can bring a wide variety of crafts to festivals, local events, and community celebrations. Wherever we go, we create a warm, inviting space that brings people together and makes a positive impact.
At its heart, our market is about people – the makers, the shoppers, the learners, and the dreamers. We offer more than products; we offer stories, traditions, innovation, and community spirit. If you value craftsmanship, sustainability, and supporting local talent, then our market is what you need.
If you’re an event organiser, we’d love to be part of your show! We can attend as a full market, with 30+ independent makers offering high-quality, handmade goods in a friendly, professional setting. The South Wales Makers’ Market is more than just a shopping experience—it’s a community celebration that adds colour, creativity, and footfall to any event. Get in touch to bring our passionate makers and feel-good atmosphere to your venue.
