There is limited on street parking (charges will apply) at this venue. Traders will need to unload and use one of the many town centre car parks for the duration of the event after unloading.
The carpark which most Traders use is this one www.ncp.co.uk/find-a-car-park/car-parks/shrewsbury-wyle-cop/
They often offer an early bird rate.
Please be sure to plan ahead, and locate a carpark suitable for your needs ahead of the day of the event. Please do not hesitate to contact us in advance if you need any assistance, as on the day of the event, as we are such a small team, it isn't always possible for us to leave the venue to give you detailed directions.
Pitch spaces will be allocated prior to the event and a plan will be on display on the day.
Due to the quirky layout of this particular venue, each pitch can only accommodate a 6ft event table. 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.
The fee at this event is £48 per stall per day if you can provide your own 6ft table. If you wish to hire a table , the fee will be £58. Access to electricity is limited, due to the age and layout of the building. If you require power, please make this clear on your booking form. The charge for electricity at this venue is £5.00.

DIRECTIONS AND CAR PARKING
An ancient church with world famous stained glassThe spire of St Mary's is one of the tallest in England and for over 500 years it has dominated the skyline of Shrewsbury's old town. In 1739, showman Robert Cadman attempted to slide from it, head first, using a rope and a grooved breastplate. His engraved obituary stands outside the west door.
The church is now the only complete medieval church in Shrewsbury. It dates from Saxon times and has beautiful additions from the twelfth-century onwards. Inside, the atmosphere is peaceful with the soaring stone arches giving way to the church's great treasure - its stained glass. There are panels in glorious colour including the world-famous fourteenth-century 'Jesse window'; filled with figures of Old Testament kings and prophets, and scenes from the life of St Bernard - a Medieval cartoon strip that shows him ridding flies from an abbey, riding a mule and curing the sick. No other church in the country has a collection to equal it.
Most of the glass was brought from elsewhere, much of it from Europe, by two remarkable clergymen, and installed in St Mary's during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Warmth and richness is also provided by superb Victorian coloured tiles on the floor. Lifting your eyes upwards, you will see the wonderful fifteenth-century carved oak ceiling of the nave, with a profusion of animals, birds and angels.
Other details delight you wherever you look: an ancient font, Medieval stone carving on the arcades, interesting monuments. The beauty and variety of this church and its contents, all on a grand scale, blend into an uplifting and memorable whole.
