Business Sheffield is proud to present the Launchpad Pop-Up Market, a festive initiative running from 27th November to 20th December 2025 at 108 Pinstone Street. This project, funded by the Launchpad Programme and delivered by Sheffield City Council, offers free, short-term retail space for early-stage makers and craft businesses to showcase their products, test new ideas, and engage with the community during the busy holiday season.
The Launchpad Pop-Up Store 2025 brought new life to Sheffield city centre by turning an empty unit into a festive retail space. Over four weeks, local makers were supported to test selling in a physical store for the first time. Thirty-one Sheffield businesses took part, many representing diverse communities. More than 8,000 people visited the store and supported local traders. The pop-up showed the value of creating low-risk opportunities for independent businesses to grow.
