Across the event, shoppers can expect to discover inspiration in abundance, individual and fresh ideas and items and treasurable gifts for others and, of course, for oneself.  Plus the Creative Collective Markets all have the bonus of ensuring an exciting and sustainable trading environment for the artists, designer-makers and service providers. In addition the Markets open up the opportunity for those purchasing to meet the artists themselves, discuss and understand their works and inspirations and also propose commissions for future pieces.

Leigh Mason says, "As far away as possible from a homogenous high street or shopping mall experience, the Creative Collective Wedding Markets are set to enliven Plymouth's retail scene.  We've been so inspired ourselves by the truly artistic and totally different, non-formulaic options that are available out there from providers in Devon."

 

Leigh continues, "We're currently making final decisions on the curation of the range of exhibitors for our first wedding fair on Sunday 15th May and are still open to applications from bespoke artists and photographers, high end crafters, jewellery and product designers and creators of eclectic and beautiful anything!  Both established and newly emerging talents are invited to apply for the positions and we're especially interested in the most creative, original, unique, vintage, quirky, stylish and ahead of trend items and concepts that the industry has to offer."
