This year’s market is bursting with new energy: over half of the stall holders are first-time MNB traders, joining a carefully selected line-up of returning favourites.
Expect a proper craft market experience, the kind where you can meet the person behind the work, hear the story, and leave with something meaningful (and beautifully made).
Thoughtful curation, lighter footprint
MNB is a community interest company with curation at its core, and that includes what things are made from, not just what they look like. Across the stalls you’ll find a strong focus on eco-friendly materials, recycled and upcycled pieces, and makers choosing more sustainable processes wherever possible. If you’re looking for small-batch goods with care stitched, poured, carved, printed or painted into them, you’re in the right place.
And just to be crystal clear: no drop-shippers, no mass-produced imports, and no AI-generated “craft” filler. This is all things handmade, by people who do the work.
Welcoming, accessible, and sensory-friendly, too.
The market is designed to be easy to enjoy, whether you’re popping in for a quick browse or making a day of it:

Accessible venue at OOTB Drill Hall Edinburgh
