Frequently Asked Questions
How do I book a stall as a trader?
New traders should email lisa@independentstreet.co.uk or fill out the new trader registration form. Accepted traders will receive a passcode to access the online booking system. Existing traders should email for availability and passcodes.
What are the pitch fees for traders?
Pitch fees vary by location and trading hours. General stalls are typically £40-£45 for a 3m x 3m space, while hot food and drink stalls range from £40-£75. Specific prices are indicated on the stall booking.
What are the requirements for trading?
Traders must have a minimum of £5 million public liability insurance, completed risk assessments, and food sellers need to be registered with their local council with relevant health and hygiene ratings. Hot food sellers using gas must have safety certificates.
Are gazebos provided for traders?
The majority of events are 'own infrastructure only,' meaning traders must provide their own gazebo, table, and sufficient weights (minimum 20kg per leg for a 3m x 3m gazebo).
Can I request a specific stall position?
Traders can notify Independent Street of any special requests for stall positions, and they will do their best to accommodate them. The final layout will be issued before market day.
