Christmas at BRLSI

This year the Bath Royal Literature & Scientific Institution is creating an indoor Christmas market for local, independent designer/makers.

Designed to be affordable, fun and flexible the BRLSI market brings together like minded exhibitors and provides an opportunity to present the very best in local artistic output to the people of Bath and visitors alike.

Sitting on Queen Square BRLSI’s exhibition space is perfectly situated on the edge of central Bath, capturing visitor traffic but also easily accessed by residents keen to avoid the busy city centre.

Running alongside the main Christmas market, stallholders benefit from a warm indoor festive setting and exhibiting among like minded artists. Each space will have a 1.5m x 75cm table, 2 chairs & plug point if required. Stallholders will also be given a daily free tea or coffee to get their day off to a good start.

The BRLSI Designer & Maker Xmas market will be open from 10-4 Mon-Sat from 23rd November to 10th December (15 days) with bookings available for 3 day or 6 day tenures.

If you would like to see the space please visit us at 16 Queen Square, BA1 2HN. 

For further details and to secure space please apply. If your application is successful we will let you know by the 5th October at the latest.
