MUSEUMS: At all museum locations the traders are mixed in with the exhibitions throughout the building.
A single pitch will hold 1 x 6ft table (size of table is usually 2 foot deep) with space behind for a chair or two. You can have either a 6ft rail in the space or a 4ft rail with a mannequin or just stick to having one 6ft trestle table – this is all it will hold and no more. (Dependent on the location, the table/rail might be flush to the wall so the trader's chair will be to the side of it.)
If you want to fit in 2 x 6ft rails/tables, this will be in either an L shape or as a straight double (i.e. 2 x single tables side by side.)
If you trade with three 6ft items, this would effectively be a triple, done with either an L shape followed by a single or three singles in one line or in a deep U shape. I won't know how your pitch will be laid out until I do the floor plan.
Anything any larger, please get in touch to explain your set up more fully.
Owing to the varied nature and layout of the event venues (owing to their listed status), you must advise of any mobility or health issues (well in advance) which may impact upon where your pitch is located. If you have any special requirements (ie needing power), this information should be detailed in your email so that we can try to accommodate them. Requests for specific pitch layouts and positions within the venue will be taken into consideration and every effort will be made to honour requests. However, these requests will be balanced with the need for supply of power and to minimise the proximity of similar stalls to each other. I will try my best to meet specific requirements but this may not always be possible.
I reserve the right to move stands and relocate space previously allocated to traders.
Some venues allow us the use of the outdoor areas as well so if you want to trade from your own gazebo we can come to a special arrangement with pricing. Can't guarantee the weather nor where you will be located so bring along a A-board to put near the doors to send people your way.
Please be aware that any outdoor set ups need to be packed up at the end of each day as there is no facility to remain on the grounds overnight - all venues are locked and secured and their insurance will will not allow traders to sleep inside in a campervan nor to take responsibility for anything left out.
All indoor pitches can be left set up if trading both days - you do not need to pack down. These are left at your own risk although all buildings are fully secured.
If trading Saturday or both days you can also drop off your stuff on the Friday when we are there setting up the tables. This is usually for just a couple of hours 3-5 or 4-6pm. These times are advised when load in is emailed out on the week before the event.
There is only a limited amount of double pitches available on each day. We would prefer to have 30-50% of the traders doing just one day to give the customers plenty of reason to attend on both days. Specify on your response if you can do either day but have a preference or if you can only do both days.
Do be aware that the availability of single and double pitches on a Saturday often are filled first although footfall is often higher on the Sunday.
Standard prices for Armley Mill are:
Small = (1 table can be supplied or not) : £40
Medium = (1 table supplied plus room for a 2nd table or rail, not supplied) :£70
Large = (1 table supplied plus room for a 2nd and 3rd table or rail, not supplied) :£100

MIDDLETON RAILWAY
Traders will be on the ground floor where the locos are.
Due to the layout of the building, there are exposed train tracks where the locos will have been moved out. There are only enough slats to cover these gaps for the deep pitches to safely allow public access.
For this event, we are running the single pitches along the length of one side of the walkway with your chair/s to the side of it. This is because we are minimising the number of locos being moved out into the other loco shed.
If you need to have space for two 6ft rails or a rail and a table, you will need a deep pitch to accommodate this. If you have your own tables, you do need to bring them as there are only a small amount supplied at the venue.
The deep pitches measure 6' wide x 11' deep and your two tables/rails must be placed in an inward facing L shape so you have a 3' gap between the rear table and the wall.
There are only two outward facing L shapes going on corners, one at each end of the stretch of deep pitches.
I cannot guarantee any locations as everything will be dependent on the floor plan and ensuring that I don't have two similar traders too close to each other (such as jewellers or hats).
Tables can be supplied – they have done an inventory and it turns out the sizes are all metric but this is what they have:
15 are 180x70cm (5’10” x 2’3”) = footprint of 13 ½ square foot
10 are 160x80cm (5’3” x 2’7”) = footprint of 13 ½ square foot
So, in comparison to a regular size of 6’ x 2’, which would give you a footprint of 12 square foot, these actually give you a bit more.
I cannot specify which size table your single would be until I do the floor plan. I have the plan drawn up but the layout of who goes where will all depend on what folks are selling and whether they need access to power. If you really need the normal 6x2 feet, then bring your own! 😊
Standard pitch prices for Middleton Railway events are:
Single (1 table supplied, either 6'x2' or 5'3"x2'6", they give the same footprint) : £40 There are 20 available.
Corner (1 slightly bigger table supplied 6'x2'6" plus room for a 2nd table or rail, not supplied) :£70
Straight 2 tables: £80
I cannot specify which size table your single would be until I do the floor plan. I have the plan drawn up but the layout of who goes where will all depend on what folks are selling.
Everyone will be on the ground floor.
THE RIDINGS SHOPPING CENTRE.
There are 20 pitches laid out near the lifts, these have tables with covers, 2 chairs, all supplied and are £35 per table. I'll be doing a floor plan for this area and there's a total of 100 chairs available.
Pricing is done by 6ft table lengths.
All traders must keep within the 6ft allocated and there can be no adding of a small table / rail / display stand at the end, there is no room. You will have a 3ft space behind the table for yourself, a chair and your stock. You must NOT attempt to squeeze something else in behind your table, you will have no room to move which will impact on the other traders behind you.
If you need room for 3 tables or rails, you will need to pay for 3 spaces. If you want one table and "a little table" you will need to pay for 2 spaces.
If you bring your own tables (or rails), these will all go in a straight line down the middle of the main mall walkway, £30 per 6ft. 3 of these can fit into a U shaped pitch.
I won't be doing a floor plan for the part along the walkway - the way it works is just the order in which traders turn up with their tables. You get fitted in, starting with the end nearest the main area and the mall gradually fills up.
Standard pitch prices for Ridings events are:
£35 for a single pitch per day with table supplied.
£30 for a single pitch per day with own table.
You can secure for now with a deposit of £20 or £10 and pay in instalments if it helps. The deposit is non-refundable.
There is no discount for doubles or trading both days.
