Contacts: Your contact for any questions or information on the day is Sinead (07813981564) who is the founder of Crafty Fox Market. Catherine, our Events Manager, will be there to welcome you and to help with any issues. If you are running late, please text Sinead and let her know.

Stalls:

Please click here for a draft table plan for Saturday 30 August

The table plan is subject to change.

Your stall consists of a standard 4’ x 2.5’ trestle table and one chair.
As with all our markets, you are welcome to bring display structures to place on top of your table to create interest and height at no extra cost. Please ensure any structures which sit on top of your table / stall are securely fastened or clamped to prevent them falling.
Please note that this will be a very open plan display method with some of the stands arranged in back to back rows. The stands will be numbered. Please seek out one of our stewards upon arrival who will guide you to your table.
Stands are not equipped with an electricity supply and you are not allowed to attach anything to the walls.

Please remember that this is a sample & seconds sale so at least 50% of your stock needs to be discounted. The remaining 50% can be made up of full price items if you wish to bring these.

The ethos of Crafty Fox is supporting designer makers and handmade goods. In the past, one or two traders have mixed imported goods in with their own items. Please stick to self-made/handmade/made in UK goods only to uphold the integrity of the event.

Set up:

Set up on the day of the event is from 9.30am, and your stand must be ready in advance of 11am when the event is scheduled to start. We ask also that you stay till the end of the event at 5pm.
Please do not arrive before 9.30am - the space will not be set up for you until then.
There are 6 stone steps providing access to the venue. We are not allowed to bump trolleys or cases up these steps to prevent damage to the historic building. We will have staff available to help you carry items up the steps - please ask for any assistance required.
At the end of the event please take away all your rubbish with you. We are trying to run a sustainable event generating as little rubbish as possible.

Additional structures:

If you plan on bringing any additional free-standing structures which are not sitting directly on the table top (including art browsers, clothing rails, shelving units, peg boards, etc) these must be paid for in advance so that we know where to place these on our table plan.
Walkways have to be kept clear of obstructions at all times to allow for good crowd flow and to prevent delay in evacuation should there be an emergency.
Please do not bring any pop up banners as they can potentially obstruct your neighbour on the opposite side.
Please get in touch Catherine at catherine.palmer@craftyfoxmarket.co.uk if you are yet to book these structures onto your stall reservation. We will ask for additional payment on the day if additional structures haven’t been booked in advance.
