PITCH SIZES & PRICES
There are 21 single pitches available. Single (fits one table 6'x2'): £40
There are 4 corner pitches available. Corner (fits 2 tables 6'x2 in an L shape): £70
If you want a straight double, you'll need 2 x singles. I can make 8 this way out of 16 singles.
There is no discount for doubles or trading both days. I also cannot do the early bird or loyalty schemes any more either, sorry!
They have no trestle tables of their own so we are paying to hire them in. These will be wooden ones measuring 6' x 2' but if you still want to bring your own you are welcome to do so as we may be slightly short on the full amount needed especially if your own measures 2'6" deep! There are also a very limited amount of chairs so advise bringing your own folding chair. They also have no trolley wheels so bring your own to make it easier to get your stuff to your pitch.
Do not assume you can bring and fit in more than the stated amount of rail or tables that your paid for space allows. This will impact on the space next to you either needed for public access or used by another trader.
FURTHER INFORMATION:
Trader spots fill up quickly for both days because of this being a new location - we've only been here twice and it was a great success. Not been able to track down the exact footfall, they only recall having at least 5 times the footfall compared to usual!
There is no parking on site, however there are several pay and display car parks close by.
The railway station is just over the road and the bus station just 5 minutes walk away.
