The popular Ay-Up Market returns to Old Market Square this spring for its third year.

Organised and funded by It’s in Nottingham - the city’s business improvement district - with support from Nottingham City Council, the market gives independent retailers and creatives, both bricks and mortar and online, a unique trading platform.

This year, there are over 60 independent stallholders taking part, and visitors can look forward to various products such as freshly baked goods, sweet treats, fine wine and liquors, vintage clothing, plants, skincare, homeware, arts and crafts, handmade jewellery, and pet accessories. 

Some of the popular businesses taking part include: Amber Cooper-Green, Beeston Brownies, Dukki, Handmade Nottingham, Hey Luka, Just Jo Design, Moonbuns, Naomi Grace Ceramics, Shapes from the Earth, Snail and Rabbit, Stewarts Coffee, Wiff Waff Designs, and Wild Clothing.

Alongside the stalls, the event will feature an exciting programme of live music on stage, plus a variety of performances from the Nottingham Asian Arts Council, City Arts, and the Brazilian Culture Centre. Other family-friendly activities will be available including creative workshops, a traditional hook-a-duck and candy-floss cart, face painting, and balloon modelling.

You'll also find food traders such as the award-winning Syiok-Lah, Colombo Street, MemSaab, and Spice Cay, or tasty treats from The Pudding Pantry and The Wandering Tea Company. Additionally, Blue Monkey Brewery will be serving their award-winning beers and spirits.
