Suitcase Market - Ipswich

Come along to Warrior Mind Body Spirit's first ever Suitcase Market!

Simply fill a suitcase with your handmade or good quality second-hand wares, find your allocated site on the day, spread out a blanket, put up an umbrella (if outside), open your suitcases, portmanteaus, valises and you're ready for business.

Are you new to a small creative business venture? Are you an avid art and crafter and want to test the market with your art or handmade goods? Can you offer homemade jams, cakes, sweets? Do you have funky vintage bric-a-brac &/or clothing to move on to a new home? If you answered yes, then this is the market for you!

With the new easing of restrictions that will take place on July 10th, we are excited to offer up to twenty sites inside the venue and thirty sites outside on the grassy area at our Suitcase Market.

Come for a bargain, a swap, or an old fashioned haggle. There is free entry for all market-goers/hagglers/bargain hunters, etc. To sell your wares, you must purchase a site tickets, so click on the link above and fill in your details. We will contact you with further information once you have registered.

Terms & Conditions

1. Sales are only to be made from your suitcase. There are to be no gazebos, fold out tables, clothing racks etc. – everything must fit in your suitcase. If any stall holders are found setting up these (or something of the like), you will be asked to pack them down. It's a Suitcase Market, so your goods must be packed in a suitcase accordingly! Please do not arrive with your items in canvas bags, boxes, plastic carriers etc. It is not designed to be a full scale, conventional market.

2. Arrivals and Departures. All Suitcase Holders must have their names ticked off by the advertised start time of the market. Check in will open at least 1 hour before the event. We understand that some of you travel quite a distance to get here, and sometimes there are extreme circumstances – but please message Warrior Mind Body Spirit on Facebook email warriormbs@outlook.com to let us know you’re running late. We need to start the market on time, as this is the time we advertise. Also, no stall holders are to start packing up before the advertised closing time of the event. Again, if we have advertised the market to finish at 12pm, it’s not fair if customers turn up at 11:30am and half the market has been packed up. You’re also missing out on potential sales!

3. Warrior Mind Body Spirit are advocates for recycling wares (we like to think we are waste warriors), and supporters of local artists, designers and not for profit organisations. Therefore, if your wares are mass produced or for commercial gain, then this market is not the place for you. We will ask you to pack up your suitcase if you have not been honest with us about your products.

4. Warrior Mind Body Spirit takes no responsibility for the safe keeping of personal property of stall holders or rummagers while at the event. The security of your takings, goods and personal items is your own responsibility. We advise that you keep any important possessions on your person at all times

5. Warrior Mind Body Spirit encourage safe work place practices when it comes to the handling of heavy equipment, particularly your suitcases. Please remember your own safety when carrying your equipment, and ask for assistance if needed. Warrior Mind Body Spirit are not liable for injury caused by the incorrect carrying of equipment.

6. The Suitcase Market is an indoor & outdoor market and event. It is the responsibility of individuals with outdoor sites to ensure they have appropriate sun protection including, hat, umbrella, sunscreen and water. Warrior Mind Body Spirit are not liable for any weather related issues, including but not limited to: cancellations, damage of product or injury.

7. We have a NO Refund policy. We currently do not offer refunds for stall fees and cannot transfer your stall fees to another month or event. We will refund all stall fees if the event is cancelled by Warrior Mind Body Spirit and only in this instance. If you do not agree with this policy, then please think carefully before you purchase your ticket online.

8. Please take all your possessions and rubbish with you when you leave. Please dispose of any food waste and rubbish appropriately – recycle any bits that can be recycled!! If you have other items you no longer want to keep (i.e clothing items, books etc) please donate these to a local charity or op shop at the end of the market.

9. Covid-19 Safe Practices. All stall holders must adhere to Covid-19 restrictions and measures, including social distancing. Warrior Mind Body Spirit will do everything we can to monitor and manage the flow of traffic through the markets, communicate restrictions and put in place safe market practices. It is the stall holders responsibility to ensure good personal hygiene and social distancing within their stall. If we find any stall holders who are not adhering to the restrictions or safety measures, they will be asked to leave and are not entitled to a refund. Please be responsible and sensible, do not come to the market if you are unwell, bring your own hand sanitiser, wash your hands regularly and notify our staff if there are any issues on the day.
