Information page
We hold craft events, small car boot/table top sales and
Mind, Body & Spirit events.
Information for sellers
Please read through this information before booking for our 2025 events. If you have any questions then please contact us direct.
If you have any specific needs we can help with, re disability or other please could you mention this when you contact us. We will always try to help where we can.
---------------------------------------
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.
-----------------------------------------------
Payments
All payments are to be made 'in advance' of the fayre date at the time of booking. Sellers not turning up on the booked date and giving us at least 7 days notice, are still required to pay for the booking. Our payment details are given when booking.
We always try to take into account at our events that there is a good variety of stalls and not many duplications.
At our car boot sale events we cannot monitor this.
Booking fees are non-refundable, however if you do give us at least seven days notice we may be able to transfer to another fayre date at our discretion. Bookings paid for must be used within three months of payment date.
Repeat cancellations and re-bookings are not permitted.
If there are extenuating circumstances for you not being able to attend, please contact us immediately.
Prices will be subject to change from time to time due to any increase of costs needed to run the events.

Selling

Regular food sellers must have their food hygiene certificate on view and have insurance.
'Anything' that can be consumed, chocolates, sweets, drinks etc must be checked first via Food Standards Agency to see if you need permission. This does not take long and will ensure safety measures are adhered to re allergies etc.

No stallholders to set up if they are under the influence of drink or drugs.
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 work 'very hard' behind the scenes to ensure the very best for our sellers, however if you have a problem please discuss this privately with the organisers, so as not to create disharmony between other sellers at our events.
We do not allow pets to be brought along by the stallholders.
Children are very welcome and we love them to attend, but we please request they are well behaved and stay with you throughout the fayre. This is for safety/safeguarding reasons for your child and also so as not to cause disruption to other sellers or customers.

If you require additional space than 6ft please ask before booking, as there may be an added charge for more space.

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 teas/coffees for sale at our events.
Please treat the areas you use with respect, and if having food/drinks to be careful re spillages on carpets or around children attending the event. Any issues please immediately report to Cath, Pat or Jason the organisers.
We do ask that you leave all areas clean and tidy after use and please take any rubbish home with you. We have no facilities to take your rubbish home with us.
Please see the Facebook page for updates as each fayre venue is different. We post on the Facebook page before each event so as to keep everybody up to date.
You will need to provide your own tablecloth which should reach near to the floor to hide any boxes etc under your table, but not pose a trip hazard.
Please ensure there is room between your table and the ones next to you. All belongings should be stored under or behind your table neatly.
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.
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 table top 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 packs away before the fayre is closed to the public, as a fayre with vacant stalls does not look appealing to last minute visitors and could affect other sellers making sales. If you cannot stay until the event is closed to the public, we ask you please not to book.
Advertising & Footfall
We constantly work hard to advertise the fayres via social media, posters, flyers and word of mouth. 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 a fayre 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.
