Event Information

More information coming soon.

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 the 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.

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 am – 9.30 am. All vehicles must be off-site at 10 am.

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!

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 on a Sunday and no Council staff are available to collect rubbish, this is done by our volunteers. If an excessive amount is left for the Council, charges from them will be passed on to you.
