Seasonal Support for Small Local Businesses

In partnership with the outstanding and award-winning Southampton pop-up events company Dream Empire Events, we were delighted to showcase many local small businesses and crafters at our annual Festive Market on 4th December.

Alongside warming food and drink lunchtime treats, the array of unique gifts on offer this year was quite staggering and they pulled a large crowd to our Axis Conference Centre. In fact, there was a queue to get in as the doors opened!

Company employees from across the Science Park and members of our local community mingled, their enthusiastic support and participation creating a vibrant atmosphere and highlighting the strong sense of community spirit that defines our area. It was heartwarming to see people from all walks of life come together to celebrate and support local talent.

The Science Park team would like to thank everyone who attended. Your presence and support make events like these possible, successful and memorable.

We would also like to thank all of the wonderful local vendors who bought their creativity and enthusiasm for their crafts to our door. These were: ABC Beauty & Skin Care, Amata Home, Be 3D Fidgets, Beeline Crafts & Creations, Corbett & Mum, Creative Crafts, Cuppa Senses, Curdridge Candles, Dream Empire Emporium , Handmade with Love, Joodles, KM Hair Accessories, LMB Cosmetics, Lulu Blooms, Maggies, Melanie Burden, Native Crafts, Scrabble Art Frames, Silver Lily Designs, Soapbox Spirits, T’s Craft Creations and Wats on Glass.

We wish them all ongoing trading success at seasonal markets and events over the coming weeks.
