Warwick Market is "excited" to be part of this year's Love Your Local Market (LYLM) campaign, a nationwide celebration of community, creativity, and commerce, proudly run by NABMA – The National Association of British Market Authorities.

The 2025 campaign takes place from Friday 16 May to Saturday 31 May, with hundreds of markets across the country uniting to showcase the energy, creativity, and entrepreneurship that thrive at the heart of our high streets.

This year's campaign message – "Made by Markets" – reflects everything that local markets nurture: new businesses, fresh food, community spirit, local culture, sustainable choices, and inclusive spaces. It's about recognising that what we love most about our towns and cities is often built right here, at the market.

CJ's Events Warwickshire, the market operator, will be celebrating LYLM on Saturday, 24 May 2025.

As part of the celebration, local businesses that have not traded at Warwick Market before can trade for free.

Plus, if they do not have insurance, this can be provided - completely free. It is the "perfect opportunity to showcase your business", try out being a market trader and be part of this "fantastic community market".

In addition to the business incentive, there will be live entertainment for visitors and traders to enjoy throughout the day.

Jamie Walker, Director of CJ's Events Warwickshire said: "We're excited to be celebrating Love Your Local Market at Warwick Market this May!

"From free stalls for local businesses to a petting zoo, kids fair ride and more. It's set to be a fantastic day dedicated to showcasing Warwick Market and the incredible traders who make it special.

"Visitors can look forward to a vibrant atmosphere with music, and a mini farm, creating the perfect opportunity to explore, shop, and support local businesses. We'd also like to say thank you to Warwick District Council for supporting the free stall initiative."

NABMA's Chief Executive, David Preston, says: "Love Your Local Market is more than a campaign — it's a movement that brings together markets, customers and communities.

"This year's theme, 'Made by Markets', captures the essential role markets play in building businesses, culture and belonging. It's an invitation to shop local, support local, and celebrate everything that markets make possible."

If you are a local business and wish to take part in LYLM and have a free stall, please email [email protected] for more information. Spaces are limited.
