The journey of establishing Darkside Markets began in 2022, inspired by the need for a welcoming space after facing judgment at traditional craft fairs with my beloved Coffins.

The turning point came when I hosted the first market at the Bridgtown Social Club in Cannock, which exceeded all expectations, prompting me to create more events for the Alternative community to thrive.

As support from vendors and attendees grew, it became clear that these markets were more than just a trading space, they fostered a tight-knit community that celebrates individuality and creativity.

I am deeply grateful for the unwavering support from all of you and look forward to keeping the spirit alive by bringing you fantastic traders and unique experiences

Please help us spread the word about our special Alternative community on our Facebook page, and I can’t wait to see everyone at future markets! 🖤

Darkside Markets are based in and around the Staffordshire and Midlands area.

SWEETPOOL create a thrilling, intense melting pot of psychedelic punk, flamenco and space noises – but this isn’t just noise for the sake of noise – they love a proper tune.
Think Can, Hawkwind, Pigbros, even The Groundhogs, hurled together with a dose of post punk. Songs happily fly off into almost trance like repetition, powered by a pulsating rhythm section alongside the drone of what they call the ‘ E pedal ’ and augmented by bubbling synths. This is all mixed up with the three minute angular pop songs – genres are made to be ignored. Preconceptions are made to be shattered.

 

Judas Johnson could be described as the elder statesmen of the Shropshire music scene. Formed as a three-piece in 2007, this year begins the eighteenth together for Mark Evans – drums, Chris Boon – Bass and Mark Johnson – guitar and vocals. With two albums, some memorable gigs and hefty back catalogue of original songs, ‘The Judes’ are one of the country’s most enduring bands. A clutch of new songs notes a departure from the soundscapes of The Comfort of Honest Thinking, as they strip back the sound to the core elements of guitar, bass and drums. It’s a return to The Firefly and rare chance to see the band make some noise…
