The Coffee Shop will be open, offering a delicious selection of food. The menu is sourced from some of the 'BEST' local producers and prepared fresh to order.
Lots of choice and all super yummy.
If you do venture out to grab a coffee/lunch from elsewhere in the town please be respectful and not bring it back to the venue.
The volunteers who run the Coffee Shop will be opening especially on Sunday to meet the needs of all of us.
Unfortunately we are unable to accommodate hot food vendors at this event, for the same reasons.
The floor plan takes a lot of consideration in advance of the event, as I endeavour to accommodate all Trader requests (made upon booking) and carefully place everyone in a space that is most suitable for their products. I always visually and practically consider how customers will traverse the event, and know that they will want to see certain stands in certain places.
For example if a Trader is selling food then I will not place another food seller next to them, this of course applies to all types of products too as well as charities that are attending.
I would therefore politely ask that everyone remains in the space that they have been allocated.
Please could I also remind everyone that if you have booked and paid for one pitch then there will be not be space for any extra room.
If you require a larger space, then you will need to book more than one pitch. Please do not assume that you can bring extras, such as clothes rails, side tables etc. If everyone did this we would be in breach of fire regulations.
If you need any further requirements since booking, please do let me know.
I would like to also remind everyone of the main terms and conditions that are most applicable.
1.PLEASE DO NOT BREAK DOWN BEFORE CLOSE OF BUSINESS. This very rarely happens, but from many, many years of experience it is extremely disruptive to the entire event and has a detrimental effect on your fellow Traders.
2.PLEASE TAKE ALL RUBBISH HOME. BIN BAGS WILL BE PROVIDED.
3. PLEASE MAKE EVERY EFFORT TO PROMOTE YOUR ATTENDANCE AT THE EVENT TO YOUR FOLLOWERS & TO NEW POTENTIAL CUSTOMERS - EVERY LITTLE BIT HELPS.
All Traders who have attended my events before, and of course there are many of them coming to Market Drayton, will know that I always heavily advertise and being a Trader myself I am very aware of the upmost importance of this.
Hopefully they will also tell you that I am extremely approachable and accommodating and I will always be available to help in anyway
I can throughout the day of the fair.
If you need assistance at any point during the event, and are unable to leave your pitch for any reason, please do not hesitate to call us.
