Andover Young Traders Christmas Market 2025

Sunday 7 December 2025, 10.30am-3pm, The Chantry Centre, Andover.

No, pitches are free

You will be sent arrival details a week or two before the event with parking arrangements and exact timings, but as a rough guide you will usually be allowed to arrive to set up your stall an hour before the market starts. Packing up is often quicker so you should be finished an hour after the market ends at the latest.

The market is indoors, in the mall of The Chantry Centre. At this time of year it can be quite cold, so wear warm clothes.

A standard 6ft trestle table will be provided and set up for you. You will need to bring your own table cover, chairs, and any other display equipment, and of course your stock. It’s a good idea to practice setting up your display at home first, to make sure you’ve thought of everything!

Participants must be aged 11-25 years old.

We’re particularly interested in stallholders who make their own stock, whether it’s cakes, jewellery, cards, keyrings, wall art, candles…the list goes on. You can also apply if you sell vintage, upcycled or curated products. For example second hand games or books, or eco products. In line with our regular market guidance we look for environmentally responsible products that minimise landfill through their choice of packaging and materials.

At this time of year customers are looking for gifts for Christmas, but also cards, gift wrap, tags and decorations.

Unfortunately not at these events. You may like to bring battery-operated fairy lights to decorate your stall.

These events will be covered by the organisers Public Liability Insurance. However if you are selling regularly at events we would recommend that you look into your own product and public liability insurance.

Sellers under 18 must be accompanied by at least one responsible adult at all times.

Well done! Although you might want to take note of what sold well, and consider whether your pricing was right? Did you sell fast because things were too cheap? Take a look at what other stallholders are doing and think about how you could improve another time, ( eg. make more stock, increase your price etc.)

If we have to cancel the event for any reason we will contact you as soon as possible. If it’s possible to re-arrange to an alternative date we will do so.

Please let us know as soon as you can so we can make adjustments to the market layout and offer your place to someone else if there’s time.

Yes, but please make one application between you and nominate a lead contact for the application who we can communicate with.

Not at all, but if you already have one that’s great, and could be a good way for you to keep in touch with your new customers.
