How are traders selected? 

These are a few factors we prioritise during selection: 

  1. Festive traders  
    We are not a Christmas market but it is December after all. We want our shoppers to find gifts, decorations and festive commodities with us over the Christmas season. 

  2. Uniqueness  
    If you offer something we do not already offer. 

  3. Number of dates offering to trade 
    If you are planning to be consistent over the extra market dates, we’re more likely to invite you to trade with us. 

These are a few of the factors taken into consideration by our team, but by no means the only factors.  

These are just a few things to think about if you want to come and trade with us in December. 

We don’t commit to the same commodity mix rules on our additional December dates. This is to give a chance to as many traders as possible. Our Wednesdays, Saturdays and Second Sunday markets will commit to the traditional commodity mix policy. 

 

Prices: 

Prices are determined by the number of pitches you occupy.  

One pitch is 3×3m² 

If you are in a vehicle/gazebo longer than 3m you will be charged additional an additional pitch/pitches. 

Pitches are charged to accommodate all equipment, staff, stock, vehicle towing gear, signage, entry and exit etc.

 

Wednesday:  
1 pitch = £45

Thursday: 
1 pitch = £30 

Friday: 
1 pitch = £30

Saturday: 
1 pitch = £57

Sunday: 
1 pitch = £36 

You will be invoiced prior to the markets and have to pay for all market days in advance over this period.  

 

Equipment 

We do not provide any equipment. You will have to bring your own gazebo/stall/vehicle and any tables or chairs you need.  

 

Parking

There are parking garages nearby at Gombards and Drovers Way. Unfortunately, we are only able to provide free parking for traders on Wednesdays and Saturdays. Please be advised, passes are issued for the vehicle transporting equipment only, not for staff.
