CALLING ALL business owners, CREATORS & CULTURE MOVERS!

---

YES! Astral African Market is a marketplace solely curated for Black folks. However, we welcome all Astral souls who respect and support our ethos to come and be a part of the community.

You can aspect to hear back from us  within a few days. If you’re submission is approved, you can only confirm your spot by completing payment.

Spots are limited and available on a first-come, first-serve basis. Full stall payments must be made within 7 days of confirmation to secure your stall site.

Yes. Please check for vendor requirements for each event as different locations may require different necessities. Astral African Market may provide some but not all necessities. 

Because we are a curated market, every single business looking to vent with us is required to submit their own individual application and pay a vending fee, even if they prefer to share a space with another vendor. 

Each outdoor stall is approximately 2x2m. 

3x3m stalls are allocated upon booking requests with additional charge.

Stalls are allocated indoors and outdoors (depending on market location) so the market operates all year round irrespective of weather. Wind and rain can still affect stalls when conditions are extreme so we suggest being prepared with plastic sheeting and ways to hold down lightweight items, just in case. 

We’re on the lookout for locally handmade art and design based products. All applicants will be reviewed on the quality of their work, uniqueness of work to the market, and the product mix on display for requested dates.

Vendors are selected by a selection panel, whose members include staff, practicing artists and other arts professionals. Applicants will be notified of stall confirmation by email.

Stalls are strictly NON-REFUNDABLE. 

No refunds are given for cancellations that occur 7 days before a market day or for cancellations received on market day. Where adverse conditions means we need to pack up the market early or cancel entirely, full refunds or stall credits are given.

Please refer to your confirmation form for allocated date(s). Cancellations and no-shows affect the markets ability to perform at its peak hence it is courtesy to notify the market management at least 7 days prior to any change in bookings. The market operates on a ‘3 strikes’ policy whereby stallholders who fail to show to their allocated date or provide late cancellation are given one strike. After 3 strikes, you will forfeit the remainder of your allocations for the season and will need to reapply. Please note our terms and conditions relating to our cancellations policy. Where adverse conditions means we need to pack up the market early or cancel entirely, full refunds or stall credits are given.
