We request ALL traders pack down their stall before they bring their cars onsite.

Premises licence for traders selling alcohol

The market will be covered by our premises licence from 10am until 4pm. Please ensure you bring your personal licence and any relevant legal signs for your stall. You will need to sign a disclaimer on the day.

Equipment & Safety

Stallholders must provide their own tables, gazebos, and/or parasols.

Gazebos must be heavy-duty, withstand winds up to 40mph, and be weighted with metal weights.

Traders will not be permitted to trade without suitable equipment.

Vehicles onsite must use oil drip trays – cleaning charges will apply otherwise.

Payment & Deposits

Invoices will be issued in advance for each market. Please note that payment is required upfront. You will not be able to trade unless you have made payment.

Our cancellation policy is detailed in the Terms & Conditions.

Promotion & Marketing

We run extensive marketing campaigns for every event, supported by town signage and banners. To maximise footfall, we also expect all traders to actively promote their attendance on their own social media. We will provide you with plenty of ready-to-use marketing materials.

Flexible Bookings

Our markets are designed to be flexible – you can choose which dates or locations suit you best, subject to availability.

To ensure variety, we carefully monitor duplication of traders selling similar items. Where crossover occurs, it will be assessed on an individual basis.

If you cancel your booking inside of our cancellation policy, deposits will be used against your stall fee (unless your space can be resold). Unfortunately, we cannot make exceptions, as late cancellations have caused significant losses in recent years.

Stall Locations

We will do our best to accommodate your preferred location, but this cannot always be guaranteed. Stall locations may change from market to market depending on operational requirements.

Additional Notes

Traders must remove all waste at the end of each market.
