Trader Requirements

Stall holders are responsible for ensuring that their products conform to any relevant health, hygiene, handling, legal and safety requirements.  For Food/Refreshment stalls the appropriate certificates must be sent to the email address by Friday 16th August 2024.

All stall holders must provide valid Public Liability Insurance notice by Friday 16th August 2024.

If documentation is not received we reserve the right to forfeit your stall(s) and re-allocate to another trader from our reserve list.

Stall holders using their own specialist lighting should ensure it is battery operated.

For the benefit of attendees and fellow traders all generators used must be low noise level.

Stall holders are responsible for bagging and removing their rubbish at the end of trading.  Please do not stack your refuse on or next to public waste bins at the end of the event.

In order to minimize plastic and non-biodegradable waste we promote the use of recycled or sustainably sourced bags, packaging, food and drink containers and utensils. We encourage stall holders to embrace this philosophy.

We would like stall holders to wear some form of festive attire to add to the atmosphere and festive spirit of the market. There will be a prize for the stall holder wearing the most festive costume.
