Introduction
Thank you for your interest in our events. If you have exhibited with us in the past, your support is greatly appreciated and we look forward to seeing you again this year. We are always pleased to welcome new exhibitors as well as “regulars”. If you are new to the world of craft events and feel unsure about anything, do let us know and we’ll be glad to help and answer any questions you may have.
We organise events of various types and styles. These include indoor craft shows, craft marquees at major shows, open-air craft markets and our own annual country show. We aim to produce well organised, professional events at reasonable prices for exhibitors. Although we have organised hundreds of events over the past fifteen years, we never forget that we were exhibitors ourselves first.
The type and content of each event varies so please read the details in our Exhibitor's Information Pack, which can be downloaded from our downloads page and let us know if you want more information. Call us or fill in our form on our contact page.
We aim to avoid excessive duplication of products so we need proper information about what you will be exhibiting. We also need a photograph if you have not exhibited with us before.
Preference will often be given to exhibitors who are able to demonstrate at shows and extra space may be available free. If you haven’t demonstrated at a show before, why not consider the possibility? Customers like to see you “in action” and it can help to sell your work. We are also keen to hear from specialist craft demonstrators who can enhance the entertainment value of the shows.
Insurance: (You cannot take part without it.)
You need insurance for “Public and products liability”. Before the event, we must have a copy of your insurance certificate (or National Market Traders Federation membership card). You can send it to us with your application forms or, if you haven’t yet arranged it or it is due to expire before an event you are applying for, you can send it when you have it. However, please note that although we will process your application and accept your payment, you will not be able to attend an event if we have not received your insurance details. Please do not ignore this requirement as no refunds will be given if you are unable to take part in an event due to failure to supply insurance details in advance.
N.B. Insurance can be arranged easily and cheaply. If you would like more information, give us a ring or fill in our form on our contact page. |
Products and Applications
Please note that product categories and restrictions vary. It is important to read the details in our Exhibitor's Information Pack and in the sections relating to each venue. Some products will be suitable for one venue but not another. All types of products to be sold must be mentioned on application forms.
Applications will be assessed individually for each show and it will help if we have as much detail as possible. The overall presentation of the stand will be considered as well as the product so photographs will be useful. Please give us a ring if you want to discuss your application.
How to apply:
To apply for space at any of our shows, please tick the relevant boxes on the “Initial Application” form (which can be downloaded from our downloads page). Do not send any money at this stage. We shall then send an application form and terms and conditions for each show you tick.
Space is not reserved until your application forms are received and you have received our acknowledgement. (We never reserve space over the telephone).
Please complete all forms fully and describe your product and stand briefly but accurately, even if you are a regular exhibitor with us. (Phrases like “as before” etc. are not sufficient and will result in your application being delayed). Your co-operation is very much appreciated.
We are happy to accept payment by credit card and our “rolling deposit” scheme makes it easy and inexpensive to book in advance. Details of this scheme can be requested on your initial application form and will be sent to you when we send you your specific application forms.
Many thanks again for your interest.
