It's been a rough few years for Britain's high streets. First came online shopping, then came Covid and the cost of living crisis. But for eight years now, The Pop Up Club has been breathing new life into empty shops around the country. In this episode, Molly sits down with founder Tillie Peel to hear all about her mission to connect artists, makers and small businesses with sustainability at their core with affordable pop up spaces in high footfall locations. To date they've helped hundreds of businesses to generate over £1.5m in sales with some of their brands going on to be stocked in the likes of Anthropology, Oliver Bonas and Selfridges. And for anyone who has got featuring in one of The Pop Up Club's shops on their vision board this year, tune in to hear exactly what Tillie looks for in the brands they partner with and how to get yours shop ready.

What started as a project to share the stories behind spaces has snowballed into something a little bit bigger. From founders sharing their stories of burnout and loneliness to the spaces leading the charge in rewilding and sustainable food production, Curated Spaces is about living life in full colour and connecting deeply with the spaces and faces around us.
