Markets

Join us on your campus for our annual UCASU Markets - now brought to you THREE times a year! Support the UCA community, alongside local creatives and small businesses.

 

The SU's Winter Markets are back!

We're excited to announce the return of the SU's Winter Markets this November.

The SU Markets are designed to celebrate and support the incredible student creativity we have at UCA. 

Hosted on campus, the upcoming SU Winter Markets in Canterbury and Farnham are your chance to showcase and sell your work, or simply to browse and buy amazing items created by your fellow UCA students and local creative businesses.

So whatever it is that you make - art, prints, ceramics, stickers, jewellery or something else - this is the perfect opportunity to sell it to other students and visitors. 

 

When are the SU Winter Markets?

The SU Winter Markets will take place on the following dates:

  • Canterbury - 12PM - 4PM, Tuesday 24 November 2026 - The Nook, UCA Canterbury campus
  • Farnham -  12PM - 4PM, Friday 27 November 2026 - The Quad, UCA Farnham campus

FAQs

Why isn't there a Spring Market on Epsom Campus?

As participation in the Winter Market was low, we have made the decision to not run the Spring or Summer Market in Epsom. We undestand this may be disappointing, but we would like to encourage any Epsom student sellers to sign-up for our Farnham Market as an alternative option.

 

The UCASU Markets will return to Epsom next academic year.

 

How much does a UCASU Market stall cost?

Students: £5 for a half table, £10 for a full table

Staff/Alumni: £10 for a half table, £20 for a full table

Externals: £30 for a full table

 

Why is there a fee for students?

We charge students a small table fee to allow the Students’ Union to provide the level of activities we do throughout the year. As a charity, this money goes straight back into enhancing your student experience.

 

We understand that not everyone who wants to participate in our markets can afford to do so. To remove this barrier, we have an access fund available to students, which will allow you to hold a small table. You can apply for the access fund here.

 

Can I participate as an International Student

Please make sure to check your visa requirements before signing up for a stall at the markets. Selling items at our markets is classed as ‘engaging in business activity’, which is a break of your student visa conditions.

 

You can find more information about working on a student visa here.

 

Can I sign-up to fundraise for my club, society, or course?

You are able to fundraise for your club, society, or course, but we do advise that International students do not participate due to visa restrictions.

 

What do I need to bring when I set up?

UCASU will provide the table only. If you require table cloths or displays for your products, you will need to bring these with you on the day.

 

Can I pay at the market with card?

We host a variety of sellers at our markets, and a lot of them are independent! We would advise bringing cash as not all vendors will have a card machine.

 

Who can attend on the day?

Our markets are free to attend as a shopper and are open to the public! Make sure to shout about your stall and invite as many people to attend on the day!
