SAFETY REGULATIONS etc. Stallholders much ensure their product are produced / supplied in accordance with the current safety guidelines including environmental health/hygiene, food, fire and trading standards.
TIDY. Any unpacking, empty cases, wrappings, boxes etc must be safely stowed and hidden from view. Any rubbish should be removed and disposed of by the stallholder.
TABLE DRESSING We like a nice smart market. Indoor plots should have a LONG TABLE CLOTH to hide any of the mechanics and stuff stored under your table. Giving a nice uniform effect to the layout of the market. Colour is completely unimportant. A single flat sheet will suffice under a shortcloth.
PHOTOS The organiser may take photos of your stall/product that may be used for marketing purposes, inc social media & print.
VENUE All venue details, location, set up and trading times are given in the event information. Will cover everything from WiFi to trolley access. Whether you can grab a cuppa and where the nearest supermarket is.
TRADING HOURS. Stallholders are strictly expected to be set up and ready to trade for entire duration that the event is open to the public, as a courtesy to their fellow traders and at the request of the organiser. Should a stallholder have to leave early, they would be expected to speak to the organiser first. . If this is not adhered to, the organiser reserves the right to cancel or refuse any future bookings and a stallholder’s cancellation will apply under the policy
PLOT All plots are good plots. All plot details are given in the event information (link in invitation email), which also shows a floor plan. Details will state plot size and whether tables/chairs are provided or if you need to bring your own. Plots are carefully measured and you can set up how and whatever you like within your boundary, as long as it does not encroach, onto pathways or neighbour stalls, or cause a tripping hazard. If it does, you will be asked to change it. If you’re unsure at all, please just ask. If unsure about whether plot is big enough, mask off measured area on your floor and set itup.
EVENT CHAT on booking you will be invited to a whatsaap chat, specific to event. First point of contact for information, directions, questions, any last minute changes and even advice. I strongly recommend you join.
PROMOTION you will be expected to promote your booked event. Several high resolution images are available to use on your website, social media, your contact list or print off for your local pub. Not just once, several times between booking and the day itself. It’s in EVERY TRADERS interest to do this and it will be discussed on the chat at length. The organiser will always request free listing in local paper’s WHAT’S ON
AGREEMENT to our T&Cs. By making payment, you are agreeing to each and every one of these terms automatically.
