Trader FAQs

How do I apply?

Please complete an online application form on our website. When applying, please include the date and location of the event you wish to attend, alongside the links to your social media pages so we can give you an answer as quickly as possible.

If you are applying for more than one event, please ensure you send separate applications for each event.

 

It says 'STALLS - LIMITED' what does that mean?

If the event you want to apply for says it is limited it means we have a few stalls left but these spaces will be left for certain stock types. We have a quota for each craft to ensure there is plenty of variety at our events, so please don't be disappointed if you apply and we cannot accommodate your stall.

 

What are our prices and sizes?

Typical pitch pricing is as follows, although some fairs are slightly higher in cost due to venue hire prices:

TABLE TOP - 3FT x 6FT -£55.80 – (TABLE NOT INCLUDED)

6FT x 6FT  - £75.60 - (TABLE NOT INCLUDED)

12FT x 6FT -  £110 – (TABLE NOT INCLUDED)

 

Why is VAT added to the pitch?

We are VAT registered, which allows registered traders to reclaim VAT. To facilitate this, VAT is included in our existing pitch fees. Please note that the total amount you pay has not increased; VAT has simply been incorporated into our standard pricing, which starts from £55.

 

What’s included?

The pitch fee covers the space of the pitch within our event. This contributes towards the cost of venue hire, alongside the advertising campaign that we run in the build-up to the event. 

 

Table Hire:

Tables are NOT included in your pitch fee. You are welcome to bring your own or we do offer table hire for an additional £7 (more in some locations due to their higher costs). We hire tables through a 3rd party company so please add table hire to your order at the time of booking.

Tables are included with pitches for Oxford & Walthamstow ONLY

 

How often are we in cities? 

Usually 3 - 6 times a year. It is dependent on the venues availability and other events taking place in the region. We ensure that we leave at least a few months before coming back to a city, to make sure the demand is still there!

 

If I am accepted once, will I always be accepted in the future?

We process applications separately for each event, which is why you will need to apply on an event-by-event basis. New traders join us at each event, and we try to rotate our traders to ensure customers always have new stalls to browse. We endeavor to have a variety of stock types at each event and do not saturate in one particular area, which means that although we obviously love your work, we are unable to accept the same traders for each subsequent event. Every event is carefully curated to ensure a perfect mixture of stalls, so do not be disheartened, and keep applying in the future!

 

I’ve applied, how will it take to hear the outcome of my application?

Please allow a couple of working weeks for us to curate the stalls. Regardless of the outcome of your application, a member of our bookings team will be in touch via the email you provide in the form. Please keep an eye on your junk mail, as sometimes our emails filter here! If you haven’t received a response within 3 working weeks, send us an email with your details and we will look into it for you! If your application is unsuccessful, you will be put on our reserves and we will be in touch in case of any cancellations!

 

I’ve paid, what next?

You will receive a confirmation from PayPal/Big Cartel as soon as you have paid. You will then receive a formal confirmation from us to say that we have received payment. Trader arrival information will be sent out on the week before the event is due to take place. The floor plan that shows where you are positioned on the day will be sent out on the Thursday or Friday before the event. You will also receive a pack of promotional creatives to share across your social media via email, and this will be sent 2 weeks before the event takes place.
