A Craft & Flea Makers Market will take place at STEAM on Sunday 18 May from 10am to 4pm.
The organisers say many people have started to notice things getting more expensive, while small businesses are feeling the squeeze of price increases more than ever.
The makers market is billed as giving a platform to some of the most talented artisans and makers in the area. The curated selection of traders will be exhibiting ceramics, illustration, textiles, baked goods, vintage collections and other items.
National organisation Craft & Flea describes itself as celebrateing creativity at the heart of its core ethos, which means every application received from traders is carefully screened to prevent the sale of mass-produced goods.
Natalie Martinson, a member of the Craft & Flea marketing team, said: “The UK has so much creative talent that needs to be celebrated.
"It can be so hard for independent traders to establish a platform when in competition with high-street brands and their large advertising budgets, so that’s where our makers' markets come in!
"Getting to know the local indie businesses in your area can be a challenge, so our events can be the perfect place to get started.”
Craft & Flea’s Swindon makers market will be hosting over 50 stalls of varied independent traders.
General Admission will cost £3, with under-12s admitted free
