Can I do a market stall on jobseekers?

    I'm currently on jobseekers allowance and recieving rent allowance (I live alone and lost my job at the end of last year).

    I was wondering if anyone has any information about how it would work if I was to do a market stall in a local market selling some of my creations with my jobseekers.
    The market I've spoken with runs saturday and sunday and it's on it's own property and so I will not require a licence. It's just my benefit I have to think about

    I doubt I will make much money, it's more about keeping busy and getting out of the house. I don't know if I should apply for back to enterprise allowance because I don't know if this will be long term and I don't know how that will effect my rent allowance.


    I'd love any advice anyone has to offer! This is something I'd really like to do, but again, I'm not doing it as a business (unless of course somehow it really takes off), it's just something I've always enjoyed and I'd love to do it to keep me busy

    (oh and yes I am actively looking for a job and have already done a fas evening course)
