This will be the company’s second market.
After hosting their first Curated Makers Market on the 19 – 20 March, Curated Makers is back and showcasing eleven independent local businesses and their handmade products to the shoppers of Trinity Leeds this weekend.
The new market will be the double the size of their debut as it becomes a monthly market operating entirely within Trinity Leeds: meaning there will be over 120 national and international brands under one roof this weekend.

Bridging the gap between independent artists and customers, Curated Markers Market is all about locally made gifts with real people and stories behind them.
The buzzing shopping centre welcomed an array of northern businesses over the weekend, including the likes of candle makers Olive & B, dried flower florist Pampas & Bloom and Leeds based bean to bar chocolate makers, Frankly Delicious- many of which featured in their pop-up store in Trinity over Christmas.
The makers were overwhelmed by the positive responses from passing customers and enthralled in sharing the stories and craft behind their products.

“The Curated Makers market is proving popular and we’re excited to welcome them back for their upcoming events.”

Megan Jones, Founder & Director of Curated Makers commented; “Adding another prime opportunity for local makers to trade is something we’re so proud to facilitate. Offering such creative talent to the shoppers of Trinity Leeds to shop from, is a win for everyone involved! We hope these market dates are popped into your diary to support our makers, not forgetting everyone is welcome to the relaunch of our exciting new shop location, to be announced soon.
“We now hope we can find a new home for our market and pop-up concept in Manchester, our home town!’’
