Who can apply?
Not a phase market holds a special love for 2000’s nostalgia, with the Myspace era & 2000s music scene. This is a space for all the elder emos, scene queens and everyone in-between!
If you make stuff that's emo/goth/punk/alternative then we'd love to hear from you! We also love to see creators of all things geeky & pop culture to spark those special interest convos.
Is the market curated?
Is the market curated?
Our markets are carefully curated to ensure a variety of traders, and are not run on a first come basis. For certain categories, we may have to limit stalls to only 1 or 2 traders to prevent overlap. We try to rotate our traders to keep things fresh and fair, so if you have attended a couple events in a row, please don't take it personally if we make room for a new trader at the next on
AI Policy
We are a market that supports artists and creatives. We do not accept any traders who use AI in any format. This includes AI generated artwork, labels, or packaging. By submitting an application you are agreeing to this policy. Any traders found to be using AI before the event will have their pitch cancelled without a refund.
Do you accept Taxidermy?
Do you accept Taxidermy?
As of 2026, we no longer accept Taxidermy traders. Views on what constitutes "ethical" in the oddity community vary widely, and validating the ethics of each trader is something that I have found difficult & time consuming to do. Whilst this will be disappointing to some, there are other alternative markets in London who do a great job at catering more for the oddities market.
We will however, be accepting entomology, as well as bone art and jewellery on a case by case basis. Traders wishing to apply will need to include how their stock is sourced, I.e foraged remains, pest control, Food industry byproducts, Pet trade/Breeding projects etc. Simply stating ethically sourced is not enough, as this is too subjective and personal.
When will I know if I got accepted?
When will I know if I got accepted?
Everyone who applies will receive a successful/unsuccessful email confirmation within 2 weeks of the application closing date. Please do not chase with messages asking to know before this, as it adds extra admin time to respond. If successful, you will receive an invoice with payment info. Your pitch offer is not guaranteed until this payment has been received. You will have a maximum of 7 days to pay otherwise the pitch will be offered to another trader.
We do operate a waitlist. This will only be for those who had applied before the deadline. In some instances, applications may be reopened to fill a space, which will be communicated on our social media & mailing list.
Public Liability Insurance
ll traders must have Public Liability insurance for no less than £5 million to cover any hazard or loss which may occur. This is required whether professional or hobbyist.
If you're needing any recommendations, below are a couple of popular options.
Axis - https://axisweb.org/join
Axis provides yearly cover for artists, with
membership costing £30 for the year.
A-n provides yearly cover for artists, with membership costing £38 for the year, or £16 if you're a student.
Is there parking?
Is there parking?
There is NO parking at the venue. Nearby local residential streets are free to park on weekends. We advise doing a google of the area in advance to familiarise yourself as we will not be able to assist with any parking issues on the day. There is plenty of space for loading & unloading directly outside the entrance, but vehicles must be moved after.
Disabled parking available on request.
