Starting out small, The Pop Up Club held pop-up marketplaces taking over their local high street once a month and giving other small businesses like theirs the opportunity to test and sell their products to an increasing audience.

They built an amazing community and realised that there was power in that collective! They demonstrated the value they brought to the local area and were determined to go bigger.

The Pop-Up Club is a community. They take empty spaces and make them beautiful – not just aesthetically, but through the values they champion: sustainability, diversity, uniqueness, and affordability. This is a community that knows no bounds. The Pop-Up Club is an opportunity to grow this platform and increase the diversity of choice in high streets across the country.

Their mission is simple: To provide designers,  makers, artists and small businesses that have sustainability at their core an affordable platform to access the high street and grow. The Pop-Up Club identifies and transforms unused public spaces with the intention of adding cultural and commercial value to the local area.

They flexibly use empty, dilapidated, or difficult spaces in an imaginative way on a temporary basis, and transform those spaces into attractive, vibrant, and unique community assets. Their aim is to nurture and facilitate the growth of their traders, reducing financial risk whilst providing the opportunity to grow and engage with new audiences, increasing the diversity of businesses in the local area.
