About this Event

Are you a time served artist, artisan or creative, looking for events, on a regular basis, at a regular place throughout the year? Local communities and venues have such great potential for brands and artisans, especially for small businesses, as we provide unique alternatives to high street shops. My events are aimed at anyone who loves to shop small and local and wants bespoke products, produced by people who love to sell the things they make!
I’m Katy and Folk and Bespoke has been created out of my desire to provide a regular place for quality bespoke artists and brands to display and sell their work, whilst not costing them a fortune to do so.
I am looking for other businesses to join me at Folk and Bespoke, as we expand into new counties across the UK and so, If you love where you live, it’s time to start supporting local businesses! Spending your money locally creates a more resilient economy, opening job opportunities for local residents and, in turn, helping other local businesses.
From independent artists and small fashion brands to little jewellery makers and bakers, health & beauty to candle makers to potters and ceramicists, there are SO many ways you can support local businesses. So, what are you waiting for?! Make one small change today that helps a local business, artist or brand.
Are you a small business? Folk and Bespoke is giving you the opportunity to put your business out there on a regular basis in wonderful, well known locations, within the counties of Essex, Surrey, Hertfordshire and Sussex, building a fantastic clientele, at the fraction of the price of a high street shop.
If this is something that you are interested in, what are you waiting for? Apply below and share/ save/ comment and tag all the love for Folk and Bespoke...
There were 20 Folk and Bespoke events throughout 2022 and a whopping 35 throughout 2023! I’ve lost count of how many are planned for this year! The feedback and reviews have been great! Visitors and vendors alike love our events.
Let me know if you have any other questions and welcome to Folk and Bespoke, where we can all come together to sell what we love to make!
