If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.
The process
Your timings come first. If things run behind, tell us and we’ll adjust the start of service where we can. At midsummer, events in Burghfield stay light until about 9:25pm, so evening trading typically finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter markets, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- We check your dates.
- We agree the menu and the pitch.
- We send the paperwork your event asks for.
- We are ready to serve as visitors arrive.
- We trade, then pack down.
Preparing for the day
- Name one person we can ask on the day
- Have a marquee or gazebo ready in case of rain
- Tell us when you want service to start

DIY taco night or a caterer?
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up in the kitchen. With a caterer, you get the food and drinks without the work.
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone has to serve all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
