“Just like you can’t replace a real-life hug with a zoom chat, our coming together at events is something too hard to beat. This hasn’t stopped us from creating something equally as special,” says a spokesman. “Finders Keepers at Home is your weekend to connect with artists, designers, makers and memorable experiences. Our IRL events are all about creativity, community and connecting, and while we won’t be seeing faces in the flesh, the basis of Finders Keepers at Home will remain. It will still hinge on creativity, community and connecting (in new ways)!”

Having an online marketplace already in motion, meant The Finders Keepers could quickly offer brands and small businesses ways of making sales. In addition, they’ve worked alongside their stallholders of the three postponed events (May, June and July 2020) to create even deeper ways for them to connect with the community.
