Get to know The Spread
The Spread connects independent food and drink producers to a growing number of markets and events taking place at a variety of prominent locations including new public realm developments, town centres and green spaces.
Only five years into our journey, we have worked with an incredible range of independent food businesses from niche start ups to well established brands that have been provided the opportunity to trade at iconic London landmarks.
We continue to grow our network of land host partners who benefit from raising funds from under-utilised spaces, raising the profile of their land and increasing footfall and dwell time, whilst offering great food to their local communities.
We believe that every market deserves incredible food, drink and people and that markets should provide a low risk, easy to navigate means of setting up or developing a food and drink business.
We make booking a market stall affordable, efficient and transparent with no arduous application process and open to anyone regardless of experience and we make creating a market for landowners simple.
