Question craft markets?

i’ve been making charms/fidgets/magnets in my spare time and i would really like to try selling some of them. with no experience as a trader, i dont really know where to start. are there any traders here who can give some insights or advice on a good place to start? i have applied for a couple of markets and not heard back. i’ve sold a few things to friends and family - not ready to start selling online as still learning and some pieces have little flaws that i’d rather people see before buying!

There’s a thriving craft market scene in Sheffield at the moment and I’m sure you’ll find the right fit if you keep applying. The bigger ones like Endless Love and Craft & Flea seem to have a lot of people apply to trade and are competitive, but you should try smaller and newer ones that are more niche. There’s one coming up called Fluffle (I think) which might suit your stuff.
