Priority booking

The Priority Booking scheme is open to all traders. The fee is £60 per event. Traders can opt in by selecting this option on the application form and choosing their two preferred trading zones from the list.

The £60 fee per event will be added to the fee only if the trader is allocated one of their first or second choice of locations.

Traders who do not take part in the Priority Booking scheme will be allocated a trading position, which will be non-negotiable.

Power Pitches

There will be a limited number of pitches available with access to power either from SADC/Markets supply or from a shared generator. Access to this will cost £50 (tbc) but cannot be guaranteed to all those who apply. You may bring your own silent generator, but it must be compliant with our generator policy (linked below). Traders who do not adhere to the policy or have a non-compliant generator will be instructed to turn off the generator and may be asked to cease trading. Traders not adhering to the policy will not have their pitch fee refunded and may not be allocated trading space at future events.
