Apply for a stall — Portobello Market 2026

Portobello High Street, first Saturday of the month from February to December, 9.30am to 1.30pm. A proper local market with a charity rate for Scottish charities.

Apply once for Portobello Market and tick every date you want. First Saturday of the month, February to December. Spaces are limited and the popular dates fill fast, so get in early — we confirm within 5–7 working days and we keep category duplication down so you are not set up beside three others selling the same thing.

Fields marked * are required.

Which dates would suit you? *Any date works for me — let the organiser choose

How many dates could you attend?

You'll never be offered more dates than this.

Which pitch would you like?

Prices can vary by date — the organiser confirms the exact fee with your offer.

Place of production address

Where the food or produce is made, with postcode. If that is your home kitchen, say so — we just need it for the council.

Description of food / produce / artisan items / craft on sale

Be specific — "handmade silver jewellery, mostly rings and studs" tells us far more than "jewellery". No copies of branded goods and nothing bought in to resell.

Which category best describes you?

Typical price range

Photos of your stall and products

PDF or image, up to 8MB. Only the organiser can see it.

Up to 4 files.

Two or three is plenty. A picture of the stall set up matters more than the products on their own.

If you trade under a different name, what should we put on the event listing?

Name(s) of the person or people manning the pitch

So the marshals know who should be on your pitch.

Registration of the vehicle used for loading and unloading

Submitted to the venue for free trader parking where it applies.

Do you require electricity?

Power is limited and has to be booked in advance — we cannot add it on the morning.

Are you a registered Scottish charity?

Charity rates apply at some of our town-centre markets. We will ask for your SCIO or charity number.

Will you be using your own generator?

It must be a quiet model and sit behind your unit.

Are you selling food or drink for consumption?

Are you selling alcohol?

Will you be doing demonstrations?

We give demo slots a mention in the press release and on the day sheet.

Can you provide a prize for our media competitions?

Optional, but it gets your name in front of a lot of people.

Anything else we should know?

One application covers every date you pick — the organiser decides each date separately.
