About

We are seeking crafters and makers to sell handmade, non-edible items at the event. In addition to the craft market stalls, we will have crafting activities for all ages, and a pop-up cafe.

Requirements:

  • You must have Public Liability Insurance (PLI) to the value of £5m and provide proof of this in advance. 
  • All items sold must be original and handmade crafts. No food stalls (we will provide a pop-up cafe separately).
  • You may book a maximum of one stall (not two adjacent tables), on one or both dates.

Display methods:
The price is for one table (provided by the gallery) measuring 182cm L, 69cm W, 70cm H. Stallholders can provide their own table covering to fit these dimensions. You may bring a maximum of two freestanding items to go on the floor in front of your stall (for example browsers, plinths, pop up banners etc.) You must provide details of what you are bringing in advance, and we reserve the right to prevent the use of anything that poses a safety risk. 

Arrival times:
We are staggering arrival times to ensure smooth running. Please book for either 09.45am or 10am and arrive promptly. The market opens at 11am and all stalls must be set up in good time for this. Unfortunately if you arrive after 11am we cannot guarantee your stall. We will be in touch by email regarding all the arrangements for parking etc.

Electricity and Payments:
We are unable to guarantee that you'll be within reach of a plug socket, therefore please do not bring anything that requires electricity.

Stallholders are responsible for managing their own electronic payment facilities. We supply wifi however cannot provide technical assistance or guarantee its security. You may wish to accept cash too and are responsible for your own cash float. We cannot accept responsibility for anything that is lost or stolen.

Pricing recommendations:
Following our previous craft markets, we expect that customers will be seeking items which are priced between roughly £3 and £30. We found that higher priced items are less attractive to customers at these events, therefore please consider the pricing of your items when deciding whether to book a stall.

Marketing:
After you book a stall you should supply proof of your PLI, and images for our marketing. Please note, we will use our discretion when marketing and do not guarantee to include all of the images you supply.

Proof of PLI and marketing images should be emailed to: Hannah.Mackay-Jackson@twmuseums.org.uk
