The problem
Market trading shouldn't rely on who you know.
Finding markets still means knowing someone who knows someone. Booking a pitch means WhatsApp messages, emails back and forth, and vague will-they-won't-they turn up. There's no accountability, no paper trail, and no recourse when things go wrong.
Invisible markets
Great markets that would love new traders are invisible unless you already know the organiser.
No accountability
No-shows, misrepresented pitches, and cancelled markets often come with no refund process and no recourse.
For Traders
Stop hunting through Facebook groups and WhatsApp threads to find your next market.
- Search markets by postcode, category, and date - no DMs, no waiting to be noticed.
- Apply directly with your pitch requirements. Pay only when you're confirmed.
- Every market you attend earns you a rating. Your history travels with you.
- Flash Pitch alerts when last-minute pitches become available.
For Organisers
List your market for free and manage applications in one place instead of chasing messages.
- Attract traders outside your existing network - not just the ones who already know you.
- See trader ratings and booking history before you approve anyone.
- Trader applies, you approve, they pay, money hits your account. No chasing.
- Set PLI and food hygiene requirements per market.
Market Directory
Discover what markets are on near you, when they are happening, and which traders you will find there with a public directory built for real local discovery.
- Search by location and date. No social media digging required.
- See which trader categories are attending before you make the trip.
- A real directory updated in real time - not a Facebook event from three months ago.
How it works
One platform. Three audiences.
Gazeboo gives each audience a simpler path into market days, from discovery to booking to showing up.
1
Traders find the right markets
Search by postcode and category. See the mix of traders already at each market. Apply directly - no group chats, no waiting to be noticed.
2
Organisers fill stronger line-ups
List your market for free. Review applications with full trader ratings and history visible. Approve, decline, or waitlist in one tap.
3
Visitors discover what is on
Search markets near you by date and location. See which traders are attending and plan your visit.
Only on Gazeboo
Know if you'll fit before you apply.
Attending a new market means not knowing if you'll fit in or step on someone else's toes. Gazeboo shows the category mix at every market - hot sauce, jewellery, baked goods - so you know before you apply.
Traders choose whether to show their presence publicly, giving the community transparency without revealing exactly who attends where.

From application to market day in four steps.
No phone calls. No WhatsApp threads. No chasing.
Trader journey
1
Find and apply
Search markets by postcode, category, and date. See the category mix. Apply with your pitch requirements. Your declared pitch size, setup type, and PLI details are captured at this point.
2
Get approved
The organiser reviews your application with your full profile and ratings visible. They approve, decline, or waitlist you. If approved with a discount or waiver, the reason is logged. You're notified immediately.
3
Pay and confirm
You have 24 hours to complete payment via Stripe. Your booking is confirmed on payment. A message thread opens with the organiser automatically.
4
Market day and beyond
Check in on the day - one tap in the app. After the market, both you and the organiser leave a review. Your rating grows with every market you attend.
Organiser journey
1
List your market
Create your market listing with pitch types, pricing, and requirements. Your first listing is reviewed by Gazeboo before going live. Every listing after that goes live immediately.
2
Review applications
Applications come in through Gazeboo - no WhatsApp, no email inbox. See each trader's profile, ratings, and booking history before you decide. Approve at full price, apply a discount, waive the fee, or decline.
3
Get paid
Traders pay via Stripe when approved. Payment arrives in your connected account. No chasing invoices. No cash handling.
4
Market day
See all confirmed traders in one place on the day. Confirm check-ins. Message all traders at once if anything changes. After the market, reviews open automatically.
Why Gazeboo
Built differently.
Ratings on both sides
Traders rate markets. Markets rate traders. Every confirmed booking earns a review. Reputations are built in the open and travel with you.
14 days to raise a dispute - not 24 hours
If something goes wrong, you have 14 days and a three-tier mediation process behind you.
Trader-led discovery
You search and apply. No algorithmic black box deciding which markets you're shown. No geographic radius cutting off half the country.
Know the category mix before you apply
See what's already booked at every market - unique to Gazeboo. Apply with confidence, not guesswork.
Free to list for organisers - always
No subscription, no listing fee, no per-booking charge. Organisers receive their full pitch fee. The service fee is paid by the trader.
Flash Pitches
Last-minute pitch available? Traders are notified quickly, Gazeboo+ subscribers get a 15-minute head start, and organisers still approve the right trader before payment.
Gazeboo+ priority alert
Flash Pitches
Flash Pitches. Last-minute. First advantage.
When a confirmed trader cancels close to market day, or an organiser has last-minute availability, they can open a Flash Pitch - a discounted pitch with fast-track applications from interested traders.
Gazeboo+ subscribers are notified 15 minutes before free tier traders, so they can get their application in early. Organisers still approve the right trader before payment.
