As we step into the second week of Love Your Local Market 2025, we want to extend a heartfelt thank you to everyone who has helped make this year’s campaign such a tremendous success so far.

The first weekend of Love Your Local Market 2025 has been nothing short of phenomenal. With hundreds of markets across the UK already taking part, the campaign has launched with remarkable creativity, community energy, and public engagement.

Love Your Local Market 2025 is now LIVE — and we can’t wait to celebrate everything that makes UK markets so special!

Only 2 days to go until Love Your Local Market – the UK’s biggest celebration of markets – and now’s the time to make sure your market is on the map.

NABMA was pleased over the weekend to visit Copenhagen and celebrate the international launch of Love Your Local Market with colleagues from across Europe and beyond.

With just one week until Love Your Local Market 2025 launches on Friday 16th May, now is the time to make sure your market is ready to join the national celebration — proudly themed Made by Markets.

We’re pleased to confirm that G M Imber & Sons Ltd, in partnership with NABMA, will once again be providing free Public Liability Insurance for new traders taking part in Love Your Local Market 2025.

This generous offer helps reduce the barriers for first-time traders and encourages fresh enterprise on our high streets — supporting our shared mission to make markets accessible, welcoming, and full of opportunity.

• Cover period: 16 May to 1 June 2025
