Offering everything from stylish ceramics to handmade textiles, the market will be held in SWG3’s stunning Galvanizers, the latest space to be added to the sweeping venue.

Mutley, SWG3 founder and director, said: “Glasgow is awash with incredible artists and designers, but – unless they have a retail presence – they don’t always have the platform to connect directly with their customers.

"Hypermarket is the perfect opportunity and provides a brilliant platform for otherwise unknown brands to showcase their products.”

The two-day event will showcase a host of brands including: Jennifer Lemon, Outsiders Press, Lake & Loch, Dear Green Coffee, Green Thomas Knit, Solas Sleepwear, Kevin Andrew Morris Ceramics and Kate McLaughlin Jewellery.
