Stall Holder Information

FAQs

How do I apply for a stall?

Please email us on jo@congletoncommunityprojects.org or contact us via this website. We will need to know about your produce and where you are based. We consider your produce, how far you need to travel and whether we already have the same produce you are offering. If everything fits we will email you an application form.

What certificates do I need?

 You will need, Public Liability insurance, Food Hygiene certificate and a risk assessment.

I am selling alcohol do I need a TEN’s licence?

 Yes you will need to apply to Cheshire East for a TEN licence using this link.

I am selling produce only can I bring a Gazebo?

Gazebos for produce are rare and only for specific circumstances. The Festival is in the town centre and we are limited on space so gazebo space is reserved for street food pop-ups. Contact us if you have a van, trailer or horsebox Gazebos must be no more than 3’ x 3’. You must contact us if your gazebo is bigger than that.

What size is the stall?

We offer a covered market stall with table top 10’ x 4’ for producers. You will need a table cover and you can hang banners on the front of the table and at the back.

Do you have electricity?

We are very limited on electricity. Please let us know details of all your appliances and related power in amps/watts. Charge for electricity range from £15 - £30

I have gas bottles for cooking is that OK?

You can use gas bottles as long as you have all your certificates in place and bring them with you on the day. You will also need straps and a suitable fire extinguisher or fire blanket.

What time do we arrive?

You will receive an information pack explaining arrival times, and car parking. Arrival time is mainly from 8.30 – 9.30. All vehicles must be off site at 10am

Can I unload by my stall?

Yes we will direct you to your stall, please unload as quickly as possible, drive to the designated carpark and then return to set your stall up. Please pull up with consideration and avoid blocking the road so other vehicles can get past. We appreciate your courtesy to our volunteers and other stallholders when unloading as it is a very hectic hour!

Do you provide chairs?

No, I’m afraid we do not.

Where are the toilets?

We will explain where the public toilets are relative to your stall and there is a map on the website. Local venues are pretty tolerant of stallholders using their facilities.

I am disabled, how can you help with this?

Please let us know of any disabilities well in advance. We can locate you near to parking and offer help from our stewards for unloading etc

Can I leave my rubbish?

This is an absolute no. Please bag up your rubbish and take it away with you. The Festival is organised by volunteers and we have to empty all the bins throughout the day and at the end. Please be considerate of this. It is a nightmare to have stallholder’s pile their packaging etc by our bins as it’s been a long day for all of us!
