Create Cheltenham started to help small businesses to grow. We found being part of local events hard so we started to write down what we thought local markets should be: Friendly, affordable and open to everyone.
We opened our first market in 2019 at Cheltenham's Bottle of Sauce and quickly gathered a loyal following of small businesses. We started hosting more markets at local venues.
During the lockdown, we continued to support small by hosting virtual markets until we were able to open our new monthly market in the beautiful Cotswold village of Dumbleton
We work with lots of local small businesses to bring you the best of crafters and makers in Gloucestershire. We carefully choose each venue and the stallholders we represent, ensuring that our stallholders are high quality and quirky. So whether you’re an aspiring crafter or you love shopping and supporting small, we look forward to meeting you and discovering all the possibilities of working together.

JOVITA
Hi I'm Jovita, wife and mum of two wonderful girls currently aged 6 & 8 and I also run my small business Lilly Rose Fudge.
I have worked in insurance for the last 10.5 Years, 8 of those being within an administrative back office support role.
After a period of servere anxiety and depression in 2020 and discussions with a friend Lilly Rose Fudge was launch and this allowed me to channel my anxieties and depression in a positive way whilst having a goal to work towards.
The timing couldn't have been more perfect to join the team, with me being made redundant from my office job. I am excited to be apart of this team and look forward to meeting lots of new people and supporting the small business community by working for Create Cheltenham.
