All Aboard Collective is a group of creative makers who’ve come together to sell our hand made products. Well, our pop up shops in Folkestone have sold fabulous prints, cards and hanging decorations, along with some beautiful hand painted plates. There are some wonderful leather goods from purses, bookmarks to stunning clutch bags. You will also find beautiful home accessories, and craft kits, quirky home cushions and hair accessories!
Amy Tudor, co-founder of All Aboard Collective:
“Our first pop up was on The Old High Street, it’s one of my favourite places in Folkestone! I just love seeing the shops filling up. There had been a lot of different shops in Gallery 66 and Eight Squared, when I found out it was a Pop Up Shop I began to look further into it. I spoke to my friend, Jane De Bono, to see if she would be interested in getting together and opening our own shop. We both were so excited, and teamed up with 3 other artisans and opened our first Pop Up Shop for Christmas 2018. It was very successful and we loved every minute of it! Covid aside, we’ve grown when the opportunities have arisen, having a hut at the Festive Marketplace on the Harbour Arm and again on The Old High Street.
Jane De Bono, co-founder of All Aboard Collective:
“We started The Collective because we felt there was a lack of really good craft markets in the area. Initially we talked about setting one up ourselves in church halls, but then Amy (From Poppy With Love) heard about Gallery 66 and the little shop next door available to rent on short term. We wanted to provide a platform for local makers to club together and sell their makes. Having this shop, and then our market stall has allowed our businesses a space to showcase products and keep us in touch with our customers. We would otherwise be based solely online.
