The pop-up shop specialising in products from small independent businesses has recently announced that they will be extending their stay at Midsummer Place until the end of the year.
Just six weeks ago, The Indie Collective pop-up returned to Midsummer Place and planned to stay until mid-June.
However, just ahead of Independent Retailer Month in July, the pop-up shop has confirmed that they will be keeping their doors open for a bit longer due to experiencing high demands from shoppers and increased interest from local sellers.
If you enjoyed visiting the centre’s previous Etsy Artisan Markets, which are expected to return to the centre when restrictions allow, then The Indie Collective pop-up is a must-visit to help support local and keep independent seller markets and pop-ups at Midsummer Place.
Some popular sellers of the shop include Maya’s Atelier for jewellery, Outhouse by Hand for wooden furniture and signs, Slinky Prints for artwork, Kooky Soul for clothing and Shannon Grace Design for candles, to name a few.
General Manager at Midsummer Place, Shelley Peppard, expressed her delight with this decision to remain open as she commented: "We’re so thrilled to be able to keep The Indie Collective open for business for the second half of the year.
"The shop is incredibly popular and offers our visitors something totally unique, in being able to support local businesses from their home town."
The store's owners, Adele Mackinnon, Carly Byrne and Steph Orr, met through their own small businesses. After three years of running and organising artisan markets with intu MK, a pop up store had always been a big dream of theirs. Thanks to Midsummer Place, Milton Keynes Council and a successful crowdfunding campaign this dream became a reality in 2020 - which couldn’t have come at a better time to support local indie businesses.
The store is open from Tuesday to Sunday each week. If you would like to pay them a visit, you can click here for more information about the shop.
