The Shed at King Ed

The Shed at King Ed | Brighton's Pop Up Program

We are so excited to announce The Shed at King Ed, Brighton’s new Pop-Up vendor space in King Edward Park, will be popping up at the end of June!

Located in the newly renovated ball canteen, The Shed will feature 3 modular vendor spaces for local vendors to showcase their talents and wares. Vendors will rotate every 2 weeks so there will always be something new to experience!

This project is aimed at supporting the many online and small businesses in Brighton that don’t have a brick & mortar location, providing them with the opportunity to test the market while also creating a destination to showcase all that Brighton has to offer for local tourists, or those just looking to try something new in the area.

The concept for The Shed began almost 3 years ago and we are so excited to see it come to life this summer and hope you are too!

If you are interested in being a vendor this year, more information and online applications are available below. Paper copies are also available at the Municipal Office at 35 Alice Street for pick-up between 8:30am and 4:30pm, Monday to Friday.

For more information, contact us at theshed@brighton.ca or give us a call at 613 475 0670.

Follow along as we take you behind the scenes on this project! Check out our Facebook and Instagram pages.
