general information about standing with us 



BOOKINGS. Use the attached form(s) on pages 9 and/or 10 for your initial yearly bookings. All additional bookings may be made by telephone. BOOK AS EARLY AS POSSIBLE! We can then do more for you by way of advertising, etc.

STAND PRICES. Table prices for our events can be found on page 8.
All cheques should be current and made payable to Marcus Pateman or for payment by
BACS or internet banking: Account 29117686 Alliance & Leicester Sort code 72-50-02.
Double stalls attract a £10 discount.

N.B. PAYMENT FOR FIRST FAIR BOOKED must be sent with booking form. Thereafter stallholders pay for each subsequent event at each prior show. To guarantee exclusivity some products (ie FLP, Bioflow, etc) will also be asked for a £5 per fair non-returnable deposit.

CANCELLATIONS will only be accepted up to 14 days before a fair. After this time monies will be forfeited and payment for next event should be sent. No exceptions.

TABLES and CHAIRS will be provided at indoor fairs but tables only at marquee events.
(Chairs may be hired through us from the marquee contractor at the cost price of £1 each).

POSITIONS. Whilst we will always try to meet stallholders requests the general rule is that
tables will be allocated as for the previous fair at each venue.

GENERAL. Indoor events will be open to the public from 10.30am to 5pm (4.30pm for Antiques and Craft Fairs) with set-up from 9am. Outdoor events are normally held from 10.30am to 5.30pm. Tables should be occupied at least 30 minutes before the start of the event and made to look as presentable as possible with a covering to front and sides.

PACKING AWAY. To be fair to fellow stallholders and most importantly the customer, no packing away is allowed before the advertised closing time. Early packing creates a poor atmosphere and shows a lack of consideration for others. We will only allow discrete tidying from behind the stall
15 mins before closing. IF YOU CANNOT ACCEPT THIS CONDITION PLEASE DO NOT BOOK.

ADVERTISING and SIGNS. We advertise in trade and local press and signpost as appropriate.

POWER for spot lights, etc. is free at indoor events. Always bring an extension cable. A charge of £5 will be made at marquee events. Note that older, high wattage halogen lamps may not be suitable at outdoor events. Check first. To avoid power cut-outs definitely no kettles or heaters!

REFRESHMENTS are always available. NB at Hotel venues we are not usually allowed to do our
own catering so prices can be quite high. It might be advisable to bring a flask to these venues.
