General Information
Cost of a stall is £25 - please note this does not include a table/chair, these must be provided by you. Electricity can be provided upon request. Please state this in your email if required.
The artisan market is for creative people to sell their handmade/unique creations. We aim to promote individuality and therefore we don't duplicate stalls. We are currently looking for:
- Food stalls e.g. cheese, fruit & veg, pickles/chutneys/relishes, cakes, sweets
- Wood/metal handmade sculptures
- Wax melts, candles and smellies
