Exciting opportunity for ‘new’ Carmarthenshire traders to join artisan street markets for free

Local traders in Carmarthenshire are being offered an exciting opportunity to showcase their products at high-footfall locations, thanks to funding from the UK Government’s Shared Prosperity Fund.

Carmarthenshire County Council is launching a new initiative to host a series of monthly artisan street markets in Ammanford, Carmarthen, and Llanelli. The goal is to support local traders and celebrate the best in local food, crafts, and handmade products.

The markets will be operated by Green Top Markets, a specialist Welsh artisan street market provider. Green Top will supply marquees and gazebos for stallholders, offer expert advice on stall presentation, and coordinate promotion through PR and social media in partnership with Council officers.

Cllr Carys Jones, Cabinet Member for Rural Affairs, Community Cohesion and Planning Policy, Said: 

“This is a fantastic opportunity for both experienced traders and new entrepreneurs to gain visibility and grow their businesses in our busy town centres. By supporting these vibrant artisan markets, we’re not only boosting local trade but also helping to celebrate the unique talent and produce that Carmarthenshire has to offer.”

The first events will take place between 10 – 12 July, with a series of monthly markets planned thereafter. Spaces are limited, so early registration is encouraged, particularly for those looking ahead to the busy Christmas trading period.
