All standard traders must hold appropriate public liability insurance. Insurance is provided by The Design Cabin Community C.I.C. for approved Youth Stall traders.

Yes! Big Up Southend offers a limited number of FREE Youth Stalls for young people aged 19 and under who would like to try selling their own products at the market.

Youth Stalls are designed to give young makers and entrepreneurs the chance to experience trading at a real market without having to pay a stall fee. Successful applicants receive a free trading space, event-day public liability insurance provided by The Design Cabin Community C.I.C., and support from the Big Up Southend team before and during the event.

As Big Up Southend is a handmade makers market, we particularly welcome products that have been made, designed, decorated or created by the young trader themselves. If some products are bought-in or resold, please tell us when applying so we can check that they are suitable for the market.

Young people under 16 must be accompanied by a parent, guardian or responsible adult aged 18 or over during the event.

To apply, email bigupsouthend@gmail.com with the young person's name and age, parent or guardian contact details where applicable, a short description of what they sell, photos of their products, their preferred market date and details of any additional support they may need.

Please use “Youth Stall Application” as the email subject.
