I’m loathe to say it but yes they are quite good, there’s variety and events going on that you don’t see at other markets such as fabulous places. I’ve been to a lot of FP’s markets too as I also live(ed) locally. We spent a good couple of hours at the ‘mama meet’ whereas at other markets I’ve literally walked around and straight out again.It wouldn’t surprise me, I know a few of the companies there have gifted her stuff in the past, she probably thinks giving them the ‘honour’ of being at her markets entities her to more!
I’ve never been to one of her markets, but I know someone who had a stall there (never asked her about her experience though) are they actually any good? It just feels like she puts these on because she knew someone else who started a business basically putting these markets on - if you don’t know who I’m referring to, look up fabulous places on insta, she’s put on markets in my hometown, which I unfortunately share with boss bae Gray, thankfully have never bumped into her whilst I’ve been out and aboutBut I genuinely think she stole the idea from her, which I’m sure other people have touched on before!
I do think Ainsley’s market is more appropriate for families with a child up to about 18 months old imo, the stuff available is very twee and it’s definitely catered towards instamum wannabes.
From the stories on the mama meet and market Instagram this event doesn’t look as busy as the others she has done. You could hardy move at the Christmas one - actually this is probably why I spent so long there
and it’s PAID not payed. Why businesses want to ‘work’ with her i will never know
