  • Vehicles may only remain on site if they are required as part of a stallholders set up and must be fully within the marked boundaries of your allocated site. 
  • All other stallholder vehicles MUST be REMOVED to the designated parking area - this is strictly enforced.

  • You may book up to three adjacent sites for your stall.
  • Price quoted is for a site only. It is the exhibitor’s responsibility to provide all equipment (including tables, gazebos) and materials for the exhibit.
