Discover brands you love whilst contributing towards positive change. Each and every line up at Mindful Market has been curated to ensure you can shop sustainably, inclusively and for your wellbeing.
We recognise that although the response to sustainability and ethical shopping is increasing and that
people do want to be part of creating positive change in this world, it is not as accessible or readily available as it could be and so the Mindful Market works to bring you the best of mindful businesses that you can shop from easily and accessibly to help you vote with your wallet and shop for the greater good!
If you can’t join us in person on Saturday 30th or Sunday 31st March then shop online from our curated line using the links below!
Simply browse, find out more about their mindful properties and click through to their online shops or social media pages!
