Space at each stall is limited, so we’re only able to guarantee room for one table or one rail per trader.
We will provide a table for you (usually around 150cm x 70cm, though sizes may vary by venue). If you’d prefer to use a rail instead, please let us know on application, you’ll need to bring your own.
If you’re hoping to include any additional equipment beyond your allocated table or rail, please get in touch with us well ahead of market day. We’ll always do our best to advise, but extra items can’t be accommodated without prior approval.
