OK, there are a few Terms and Conditions – aren’t there always – but we’ll try to make it as simple as possible.
1. Crafters have to have made all goods for sale themselves, unless agreed beforehand with the organiser.
2. Crafters may use a table provided by the organiser or supply their own table. The organiser will supply two chairs for each stall regardless of who is providing the table. Crafters supplying their own table should ensure their table is fit for purpose and is a maximum size of 6ft by 2.5ft.
3. It is a condition of our own insurance policy that Crafters must also have their own current Public Liability cover. Evidence of this will be required as part of your application. Any stall selling food items must confirm with the organiser in advance how they comply with current UK food hygiene legislation. Any crafter selliing children’s toys must also confirm that they are UKCA marked.
4. Set up will be from 8.30am. You can arrive before this time (the car park may not be open until 8am) but there is no guarantee that the hall will be ready until 8.30am. Set-up needs to be completed by 10am. Tear-down can only start after the fair closes at 4pm. If you are using a supplied table, and you are able, please collapse it before leaving the fair.
5. No raffles, tombolas, lotteries or prize draws will be allowed unless previously agreed with the organiser.
6. The fair is open to the general public from 10.00am – 4.00pm. Stall holders must be present throughout this period. If any stallholder packs up and leaves before 4pm without the prior permission of the organiser, then the organiser reserves the right to cancel, without refund, any future bookings for that stallholder.
7. Car parking is free – please park sensibly as there are no marked bays. The space either side of the main door is reserved for gazebos.
8. All stall holders must keep their area clean and tidy and also by removing all their rubbish etc at the end of the show. Failure to leave the hall tidy may result in not being welcome to exhibit with us again. Please hide your packing cases, boxes etc by having a cloth on your table that reaches to the ground.
9. Please ensure that neither you nor your table and goods block any walkways or any fire exit from the hall.
10. There are a limited number of spaces available – these will be allocated on a “first come, first served” basis and taking into account the variety of crafters at each fair. All bookings are provisional until confirmed by the organiser. The organiser reserves the right not to accept bookings for any reason.
11. A £10 non refundable deposit for each month booked is payable once the organiser has confirmed your booking. The balance is due one month prior to each show. The organiser reserves the right to reallocate space not paid in full by the due date.
12. Stall holders should not arrange their own replacements if they are unable to attend. This is in fairness to stall holders on any waiting lists that are maintained by the organiser.
13. If the event is cancelled by the organiser then any payments received will be refunded in full. If the stall holder cancels more than one month before the event then the booking fee less deposit will be refunded. If cancelled less than one month before the show no money can be refunded.
14. If electricity is required this needs to be stated at the time of booking. There are only a few stall spaces with access to 13Amp electric sockets. These are allocated on a “first come, first served” basis. An extension lead may be needed to reach the nearest socket. All leads must not cuase a trip hazard and any electrical equipment used by the stall holder should be PAT tested.
15. The organiser accepts no liability for loss of earnings as a result of any circumstances, nor any other action by any third party beyond their control.
