5/5

“Selling my art at the Cyndi Says Relax market was such a gorgeous experience. One of the most accessible and accommodating markets I’ve been to! From their being access to tables and chairs and food and drinks to gender neutral toilets. Malt Cross made me feel super comfortable and looked after. I ended up making friends with, and doing trades with other vendors. 

Markets can often be a sensory nightmare for me, but the space and atmosphere was great. The love that has gone into creating this event for women and non-binary people can be truly felt. Plus the artist’s work were all incredible and I ended up buying things as well as the trades.”
