What happens on the day
Your timings come first. If speeches run late or the photos take longer, let us know and we will adjust where we can. A December market in East Ilsley loses the light at about 4:00pm, so a lit pitch helps visitors find the truck. By contrast, a midsummer fair stays light until about 9:25pm.

- You get our menu and pitch requirements.
- Power, water and access are agreed in advance.
