Join ELC this winter. I wanted to share a quick update about our upcoming applications, i hoped to open them this May apologies for delay, i’m currently waiting for a confirmation for our Edinburgh Dates and want to open all three market applications at the same time so you can see all the options in one go. The best way to keep in the loop is to join the maker mailing list this can be found through the ‘find out more’ link below.

market in review by the makers
“Amazing events. Brilliantly curated and well supported by local and travelling visitors.”
“The vibiest markets! Always so busy and well-curated with a varied mix of indie makers. I always recommend Endless Love to friends and customers :)”
“Really lovely market to be part of and so lucky to have been selected to show my work amongst such beautiful artists. Char is so approachable and incredibly organised, any concerns or questions she’s got you covered! One of the best markets to take part in!”
“ELC markets are genuinely unique. I’ve never felt so looked after and included. There’s such a sense of family and togetherness that I don’t think I’d really care if I made much profit but luckily I always do! Actually nothing to do with luck, Char’s marketing skills and dedication to creating a real market buzz are second to none.”
“There’s honestly no other market like an ELC market. You feel so supported as a maker and the atmosphere is so so electric from the start to the very end. Char puts so much effort into every detail of the day and it shows both as a maker and a customer – I had SO MANY customers telling me they’d never been to a market like it!”
“The ELC christmas market was wonderful. The Buzz and hype created during the event gave it a ‘real’ life event feel. The Live chats, makers sharing their studio space, buyers showing how they display at home all fed into the wonderful feel of the weekend. Charlotte who runs ELC puts her heart and soul into the events and that really sets it out from other online events’”
