The NI Markets

Small businesses are at the heart of our markets 🤍

One of the best parts of what we do is discovering how many incredible makers, bakers, artists and creatives there are across Northern Ireland!

We know there are still so many we haven't come across yet...so we want to change that...

Tag a small business we should know about below 👇 (And yes - you can tag your own business too 👀)

Let's fill these comments with amazing local businesses for everyone to discover!

We’ve been a little quiet on here… 👀

But that doesn’t mean things haven't been happening!

If you’re new (or just need a reminder), The NI Markets is all about bringing together some of the best local small businesses, from thoughtfully handmade pieces, to incredible local bakes, and everything in between.

What started as a small market in a coffee shop in Ballymena has grown into something really special, and that’s all down to the vendors (and all of you) who continue to show up and support it each year 🙌

⚠️ A few new things are on the way...and things won't look exactly the same, any guesses?? 👀 👇
