SO:ME Space Pop-Up Stalls

• We favour stalls with locally designed or made fashion and lifestyle products. We seek to have an eclectic mix of stalls that are relevant to our target market of young, ethically aware and design-savvy shoppers. SO:ME Space is an opportunity for designers to test retail concepts and creative boundaries without restrictive outlays of traditional rent.
• No food or drink stalls will be accepted.

• SO:ME Space short term pop-ups occupy a space of between 4m² and 8m².

• Standard rates are $300 per week
• Peak season rates are $500 per week. Our peak season is November, December and January. 
• Bookings for December must be booked for the entire December and January period (8 weeks). No shorter-term stalls will be considered.
• Please note: All places have been filled for the 2023 festive season. 
• Applications for the 2024 festive season will open in June 2024, with all applicants notified of whether they have been successful by mid-October.

You must adhere to the same trading hours as the general Market. If trading days and hours change, which often occurs around Easter, Christmas and some public holidays, you must open accordingly (this is non-negotiable).

No compensation will be given if a trading day falls on a public holiday and the Market closes. We reserve the right to charge additional fees for additional trading days.
