ALL THE NEED TO KNOW INFORMATION
Before you apply...
Check out the trader page for the relevant Market and/or the Online Directory where you will find information by each opportunity including what we look for, what we offer and who can apply - this does vary so it's an essential read. You'll also find our terms by opportunity which you need to agree to when you submit your application.
Application Routes
For 2024 all successful Market applicants (for any and all of our Markets) will need to become a Directory member for 2024 (through to end of January '25). By including all successful Market applicants in the Directory we ensure synergy between our real life events and online presence. It will also limit the backend work needed to deliver the associated Online Markets so that we can continue to offer accessible stand prices at our events in the face of rising costs. This means that there are two application routes, one for non Directory members to apply to join the Directory only or to join the Directory and Markets, and another for current Directory members to apply to join our Markets. Please select the relevant application route from the buttons below to find out more and submit your application.
Applications for NON Directory Members - MARKET APPLICATIONS ARE CURRENTLY CLOSED EXCEPT FOR FOOD / PRODUCE CATEGORY - OTHER CATEGORIES CAN APPLY TO JOIN THE DIRECTORY ONLY
This application form is to apply to be a member of the Directory and for Market events that applications are currently open for.
If you are NOT already a member of the Cornwall Shop Small Directory you will need to apply to join our Markets through this route. For 2024 all successful Market applicants (for any and all of our Markets) will need to be a Directory member for 2024 (through to end of January '25). This costs a £12 set up fee and £1 per full month from your listing launching (through to January '25) and includes your own page in the Directory, your listing by category, access to additional support services and ongoing promotion. You can also apply to join the Directory only (not events) using this application form.
Find out more about why joining the Directory is pretty awesome HERE. This application form is pretty juicy but it includes all of the information and assets to complete your Directory listing, and the great news is that once you are a Directory member you'll only need to fill in a short form to apply to Markets.
