Leeds Steampunk & Alternative Markets

Leeds Steampunk & Alternative Markets LSM is back to hosting 5 weekend markets a year. These are in March, May, July, October & a festive one in December or late November.

Plus random social days out! ABOUT US

We are a more intimate, personal event and keep our traders all within the one location, not spread out across a whole town or city. We stay within the realms of our capabilities as we are an independent setup so we just run a day time event, five weekends a year, both days of the weekend, no more than fifty traders each day and a small amount of entertainment. The entertainment is enough to keep the customers around and interested but not too much to take them away from the traders who have, after all, paid for pitches to make money! We keep our pitch fees as affordable as possible to allow smaller traders an opportunity. LSM are not curated events although we do invite traders, artists and authors that are the best in their respective fields and try to avoid duplication where possible. We'll never ask for an "application to be considered to trade" at LSM events. Basically, if we like your stuff or see a busy market for it, and think you can sell it - we'll invite you. The moment you say yes, you're in (well, as long as you get your pitch paid before someone else does!)

Just so you can start pencilling in dates for next year!

I'm getting more traders getting in touch with me now about both events, October and December, so I'm probably going to start taking deposits for them just so everyone knows they are definitely booked in :)
You can either use the same bank account that I always use to pay a £20 deposit or use the PayPal links here, be sure to click on the right one as there's separate ones for each event. If doing bank, put either "October LSM" or "December LSM" as the reference accordingly. https://www.leedssteampunkmarket.co.uk/pay-for-your-pitch.php

Flyer design redone to fit into the required dimensions for the newspaper advert.
This will be in the Yorkshire Evening Post on Thursday 16th July.
I can't get hold of a copy though as I live in Bradford, the newspaper distributors don't stock it so if anyone can pick up a copy for me please let me know (pm to Jo Dee Burgoyne-Neal).
Thanks!

Hi everyone!!
A huge thank you to everyone who attended LSM's return visit to Bradford Industrial Museum over the weekend - traders, shoppers, visitors, entertainers, friends, family and especially the museum staff.
The final numbers for the footfall over the weekend was 748.
A split of roughly 55% Saturday, 45% Sunday (Sunday was more families). The mananger confirmed this was a substantial increase compared to the previous weekend or the same weekend last year so thank you again to everyone that made it along.
I'll just need to clear my Bradford details and numbers and get my spreadsheet prepared to start again for July at Middleton Railway.
The first batch of emails will be going out by the end of this week to get pitches booked for Middleton Railway for 18th and 19th July. I can see lots in my inbox already so if you're interested please email [email protected] - don't comment on here or the event or pm me as Fb is a nightmare to keep track of communication!
All feedback is welcome (by comment or pm) and I would love to add some fresh comments to the Testimonials section of the website. If you took photos, please post a link below to a public album so that everyone can enjoy them!

A business announcement as LSM and Cumberpatch have now had a bit of a rebrand. LSM's name has changed slightly so I needed to redo the logo so I thought - why not do new logos for both?!
And seeing as it's my birthday - I'm giving you a heftier discount than usual as a gift from me to you 🙂 on the Captain Cumberpatch's Curious Creations website.
Not 10%, not even 20% - seeing as I'm 60 today, how about a whopping great 40% OFF!! (So you're paying only 60% of the usual price - please keep up 🙂 )
It'll run from today up to and including 10th June (60 days), applies across all items, minimum spend of £10. Enter the code BIRTHDAY60 at checkout.
So do please take advantage as this is an offer I can't afford to repeat!!
