What happens on the day
We need a level, firm spot we can drive the truck or trailer onto, and we agree power and water arrangements before the day. Send us a photo of the space if you are unsure. By late September, it’s dark in Horley at around 7:05pm, so later trading needs some lighting. Organisers should plan that into the site layout.
- Tell us about the event and pitch.
- We send our menu, needs and the documents you ask for.
- We arrive and set up at the agreed time.
- We serve to order through the event.
- We clear and leave the pitch clean.
