Line up for Saturday 17 June market, 10-3 Stirchley Baths

Stalls (and more) at the Summer Market

We’re back at Stirchley Baths for a bit of a building takeover – on Saturday 17 June from 10am-3pm, for the second of our quarterly seasonal markets for 2023. This market is taking place on the Saturday of Fathers’ Day weekend.

Stirchley Community Market: ran by and for the community since 2010 - we're a constituted community group of residents. We're not operating for profit, and we try organise a line-up that features new stallholders, community groups and a rotating list of returners! We stand by our Market Values & Ethos - support and shop local, with Stirchley at heart!

We hope you find something you like the look of - and we'll see you soon.

Community stalls this market:

• Forever Lida - raising funds for Ukraine (Irene is also a SCM volunteer committee member)
• Yorks Supplies Action Group - a group establishing a co-op to raise money for a community buyout of Yorks Supplies, Kings Heath

As you can see from our stalls listing, we're a proper community affair. THANK YOU for your support and for understanding that we do things a little differently around here.

We get 100s of applications for stalls and we can't accept everyone, and as we're run by volunteers we can only commit to quarterly markets.

The good news is - there’s lots of markets around Stirchley nowadays and you catch other traders missing from this list at places like Attic Brewery and Yogaborne

If you've never had a market stall before and you'd like one, get in touch to tell us about your ideas ✨

As a community group we are very grateful for the support of our committee and volunteers, and the ongoing support of Karen Cheney, Stirchley Baths, as host.

Next dates: Sat 16 Sept and Sat 2 Dec.
