Market traders
Are you a trader or thinking about starting up? - Then read on.
Casual traders are allocated stalls that are not taken up by our regular traders. These stalls are let out for that day, if the regular has not set up or phoned by 9.30am on a Saturday and Monday. On a Friday stalls must be claimed by 9am.
Stalls are then allocated on a points system, a point is given on each day a casual trader turns up wither or not they can get a stall. The points are separate for each trading day. The casual trader with the most points for that day is given the first available stall.
Stall availability
Saturday is our busiest day - where we run a full market on a lot of weeks, however depending on the number of casuals that turn up on the day, we occasionally have one or two empty stalls. (Please note this market is not one suitable for selling Bric a Brac).
Friday - Normally about 100 stalls, we have a capacity of 118 so there may be stalls available, this is the market to sell your Bric Brac etc.
Monday - Another busy market 90 - 100 stalls, new goods.
Cost
The cost of a stall, this unlike a lot of other markets, includes stall, boards, awning is £15 per day. This is payable on demand.
How big are the stalls?
The stalls measure 1.9m X 3.5m. We have stall erectors on hand during set up should you need assistance with stall set up board size etc.
