About the events

We’re hosting pop-up markets at Sky’s London head office on various Tues & Weds in the year. We’ve been asked to ensure there is a real variety of products, with some markets having a theme e.g wellbeing, families, food etc.

Sky is on a mission to become carbon zero by 2030 therefore every event we do will be a plastic-free market. If you sell things that contain zero plastics including the packaging, we’d love to hear from you and we may be in touch with stall opportunities on certain dates.

Please note we will likely be adding Scottish offices, so add your details to the form if you would be like to be considered.

How to apply for a stall

Step 1: Express your interest

Fill in a few details on this form to express your interest in any events at Sky offices in London or Scotland. Please only do this if you sell handmade plastic-free products in plastic-free packaging.

Step 2: Add your company’s details to our directory

  • If you have never booked a stall with I Do Handmade before, please complete this stall holder application form. We cannot confirm your booking until you have done so.
  • If you have booked a stall at any of our previous pop-ups, we already have your details and you do not need to complete this form, there is no further action required. 

Step 3: Wait to hear

We will review the products you offer and will be hand-selecting the brands involved. As mentioned above we have been asked to create markets with real variety and offer unique products. Some of the events may also have a theme, so if we think your products are suitable, we will get in touch with potential dates to find out if you are available and send instructions on how to pay for your stall. Due to these events being heavily oversubscribed, we unfortunately won’t be able to reply to everyone who expresses their interest.
