Why sell at a market

Selling at one of Horsham District's markets is an opportunity to:

  • Reach new customers, especially if your current business is online-only
  • Get direct feedback on your offering
  • Show potential customers you are a local business
  • Access free skills development workshops
  • Benefit from support for young and start up market traders
  • Network with and learn from existing traders
  • Compare the return and the overheads of online vs stall-based sales

Apply for a market stall

To apply for a market stall, you'll need to contact the market operator.

When you get in touch, check with your chosen market location’s operator for their exact package available for new, regular, and occasional traders.
