Meet our stallholders.
On this page we showcase some of the small local businesses you may meet at the Made in Assynt Markets. Not all stallholders may be present at every market but don’t worry if you missed one or can’t make it on the day. Most of our stallholders are also online so you can browse and buy their products from home.
