Photographs
Due to our events being public, it is inevitable that photographs for public information purposes and reports in the media will be taken by us, and possibly other stallholders or local news reporters. This is for promoting the local businesses and fundraisers who attend.
Therefore, if you have any specific reason to avoid being photographed, we cannot guarantee that your image will not be captured.
Please bear this in mind before attending or booking a stall.

Insurance
We do accept bookings for people without insurance.

Although we do advise that all sellers have insurance, for your own peace of mind and safety, as our insurance will not cover you.
Ultimately the choice and responsibility is yours.

We will not tolerate any bad language or inappropriate/antisocial behaviour- please act professionally at all times. This includes on social media before or after our events.

We do request no pets to be brought along by the stallholders to stay indoors throughout an event.
 
Children are very welcome and we love them to attend, but we please request they are well behaved and stay with you throughout the event. This is for safety/safeguarding reasons for your child and also so as not to cause disruption to other sellers or customers. 
Please be aware that we ask indoor sellers not to pack away until the event is closed to the public.
 
Stall Allocation

If you arrive earlier, please wait in your vehicle to give us time to set up.
Please be patient and respectful to other stall holders when loading and unloading at venues.
 ------------------------------------------
If cold weather, please ensure that you are dressed warmly, as it can be cold due to outside doors being open.
Bring along any lunch/refreshments you need for the day.
We do have drinks for sale at our indoor events.
 
Please treat the areas you use with respect, and if having hot food/drinks to be careful re spillages or around children attending the event. Any issues please immediately report to Cath, Pat or Jason the organisers.
 
 No fly-tipping!
We do ask that you leave all areas clean and tidy after use and please take any rubbish home with you.
Items that haven't sold, maybe ask a charity shop if they want them or advertise them on a free selling page.
Please take all unsold items and any packaging, boxes and food wrappers home with you.
We have no facilities to dispose of your rubbish.
 
Please see the Facebook page or here for updates, as each event is different.  We post on the Facebook page before each event so as to keep everybody up to date. 
 
Please ensure there is room between your table and the ones next to you.
Keep a close eye on personal belongings and money to keep them safe. 
 
Your stall, gazebo or table must be safe and suitable to display your goods.
You are responsible for your own stock, personal belongings, and equipment.

Indoor tables must be in line with the rest of the stalls, and any extra or empty boxes must be kept under or behind your stall as not to cause any trips or blocked aisles. This includes items for sale, as putting them in front of your stall on the floor could pose a trip hazard. We understand that some sellers do put items on the floor, however this must be kept to a minimum and not pose a trip hazard. We need to leave ample room for pushchair and wheelchair access.

Gazebos used must be correctly weighted or tied down, you are responsible for your own equipment and any damage or injury caused.
 
We do ask that stallholders report anything they notice that needs attending to on the day, toilets especially. Although these will be regularly checked.
 
Any accidents are to be immediately reported ‘at the event’ so they can be logged correctly.

We request that nobody with an indoor space packs away before the event is closed to the public. A room with vacant stalls does not look appealing to last minute visitors and could affect other sellers making sales.
If indoor and you cannot stay until the event is closed to the public, we ask you please not to book until a time when you can stay. or alternatively have a space outdoors.

Advertising &  Footfall

We constantly work hard to advertise the events. 
We request all sellers to please promote the event via your social media page too and other appropriate means. Unfortunately, we cannot guarantee the number of visitors (footfall) who attend or buy at our event, so please do bear this in mind when booking. 

If an event has to be cancelled

If for any reason the event has to be cancelled at short notice, then please ensure we have your email and phone number to contact you. Always check messages and our Facebook on the day, before leaving for an event. 
If an event is cancelled, bookings will be transferred to another date if possible.
