How are traders selected?

These are a few factors we prioritise during selection:

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