If you plan to serve food or drinks at the event, it's crucial to have a valid Food Hygiene certificate. Make sure to upload this as part of your application. Additionally, please ensure that you visibly demonstrate adherence to hygiene standards, such as providing handwashing facilities. Please be aware that local authorities may conduct inspections during the event to ensure compliance with regulations.

While not mandatory, we recommend using a Gazebo for weather cover. However, it's your responsibility to organize your own Gazebo, as the Carnival does not provide them. This is merely a suggestion and is entirely up to your preference.

For stalls requiring electrical power, petrol & diesel generators are permitted. However you must also demonstrate suitable fire protection equipment, e.g suitable fire extinguisher. Please note that the carnival does not supply generators to stallholders; you must make arrangements for hire or purchase independently.

Running trailing electrical cables along pavements or overhead is not permitted, even with safety ramps. Do not seek power supply arrangements from local shops/businesses/other premises on the high street. We strictly enforce this rule, and failure to comply will result in disconnection of power, potentially affecting your ability to trade.

When booking, it's essential to provide a copy of your Public Liability insurance. Please ensure this document is attached when you apply for a stall, as applications without it will be declined.

Stallholders are responsible for managing their own waste and rubbish. Failure to clean up properly after the event may result in charges for waste disposal.

For stalls using gas please ensure we have your gas safety certificate uploaded as part of this application, without it your application will be declined.

Please note that we do not grant any stall exclusive rights to sell specific items. This decision is final, and no exceptions will be made.

Our volunteers work tirelessly, and they deserve to be treated with respect. We have a zero-tolerance policy towards abuse, so let's be kind to each other and make this event brilliant.

You will be allocated a pitch, and this allocation cannot be changed due to the planning involved. A member of our team will direct you to your pitch, and you're expected to stay within the provided space. Using more space than you've been allocated will incur extra charges or been asked to downsize your stall.
