How it works
Your timings come first. If speeches run late or the photos take longer, let us know and we’ll adjust where we can. Summer events in Kingston have daylight until about 9:15pm at midsummer and about 7:00pm by late September, so evening trading generally finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter markets, dark by about 3:50pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- First, we check the dates.
- We agree the menu and the pitch.
- We send the paperwork your event asks for.
- We’re ready to serve as visitors arrive.
- We serve, then clear the pitch at the end.
Getting ready for the day
- Let us know the timings for the day
- Get the venue’s permission for us to park and serve
