Calling Fylde Coast Creatives
The fourth HAZ Christmas Creative Market will be held at the Winter Gardens on Saturday 29 November 2025 and we’re seeking stallholders and workshop facilitators.
Following the success of last year’s Christmas Creative Market, we are looking for Fylde Coast-based stallholders as well as local creatives and artists to deliver creative workshops throughout the day.
We have previously hosted a superb selection of both well established and upcoming local makers and artists. Last year CoxyArt, Richard Marshall, The Bearded Sewist and ArtYard Art featured.
Like last year we will be taking over the Pavilion at Blackpool’s fabulous Winter Gardens and this year we are also expanding into the Floral Hall. We’re looking for stallholders with great creative talent and unique, original products.
The application process for stallholders is now open and closes at midnight on Friday 11 October 2025.
