Join the Market: Retail Open Evening at Abingdon Street Market

Thinking about opening your own shop, studio, or creative space?

We’re opening our doors for a special behind-the-scenes evening at Abingdon Street Market — a growing hub for independent businesses in the heart of Blackpool.

This relaxed, drop-in event is designed for makers, creatives, small business owners, and anyone exploring the idea of taking a physical space. Whether you’re looking to downsize from a large unit elsewhere, currently selling online, trading at markets, or just starting out, this is a chance to see what’s possible.

What to expect:

• A guided walkthrough of the market and available retail units
• The opportunity to meet and chat with current traders about their experience
• Insight into how the market operates, including costs, setup, and support
• A chance to ask questions in an informal, no-pressure environment

You’ll also be able to explore the wider space, including our street food vendors, coffee shop, and bars — giving you a real feel for the atmosphere.

Why attend?
Abingdon Street Market is home to a diverse mix of independent businesses — from artists and makers to retail and lifestyle brands. This event is your opportunity to see if your business could be part of it.
