At all of our events we have a fantastic array of artisan producers, tasty street food vendors, quality bars and a selection of gift stalls. There are normally around 70-100 traders at each event.
Trade stands start from just £160 per event*. We usually get between 2,000-6,000 people per day attending**.
"Fair pitch prices and well attended events."
"Great events and sales to match. They are a lovely team to work with too."

Do you make something special?
Are you a producer who sells products that are... Handmade, Organic, Vegan, Environmentally Friendly or something unique? We want you to trade!!
So, we may be able to offer you a discounted rate or we may even offer you a free pitch email [email protected] and tell us what you do.
Never traded before?
It's easy...and we will help you along the way. If you are a producer - i.e cake, jams, cheese, chutney, beer, all you need is:
- Public Liability Insurance (£5m)
- Banners or branding for your stall
- Choose to bring your own gazebo or go inside our marquee (own gazebo is cheaper)
- A basic risk assessment
- 5 star hygiene rating (where applicable)
THAT'S IT. Easy. Drop us a line with any questions... [email protected]
