Joining us
You would like to sell your products in Made in Ashford…
We are looking for Kentish creative businesses to join our shop.
You can register your interest to join here.
Here is a bit about all of our spaces so you can choose the best one for your business.
We have spaces that are permanent and fixed so you wont need to bring in your own furniture, just props to add height and individuality to your space. We have tailored sections of the shop to suit different creators needs such as slatwall for clothing or a cabinet for jewellery.
From our experiences of running the shop we know that not everyone who has a small businesses can help run the shop for the day so we have spaces that don’t require you to work and have created incentives for those businesses that do. However we do encourage businesses to take part in staffing the shop not only is it lots of fun but helps you learn your market which is incredibly valuable for your business success.

A license to trade in store is 3 months min then monthly rolling after. Your rent for your license is paid from your takings each month. The commission is deducted from your takings which will have a monthly accounting period paid to you from the shop.
Days working in store can still be taken as half days (if we can find someone to take the other half day) or whole days. You will need to undertake training before you can work in store (it takes approx 2 hours).
We do lots of fun things in store like regular meet ups, help nurture each others businesses and enjoy going out as a super community of awesomeness. We are all about supporting creativity in the community! We also get involved in lots of different creative project with Love Ashford, Emergency Exit Arts and more!
There is a lot going on in our little shop and a huge amount of support and opportunity.
