The process
We need a level, firm spot we can drive the truck or trailer onto, and we agree power and water arrangements before the day. A picture of the space helps. By late September, it is dark in Lake at around 7:10pm, so an evening programme will run partly after dusk. Organisers should plan that into the site layout.
- Send the event name, expected visitors and pitch size.
- We reply with our stall menu and what we need on site.
- Power, water and access are agreed in advance.
- On the day, we’re ready before the busiest hours.
- When trading ends, the pitch is cleared and left clean.
Preparing for the day
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Have level hardstanding or firm ground ready
- Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough

Planning the serving area
Every venue is different, so we’ll ask about yours when you contact us. Generally, we look for:
- The event’s site rules and timings
- A pitch big enough for the truck or trailer and a queue
- Vehicle access before and after the event
Lake is a more remote spot, so tell us early and we’ll plan the journey and access for the truck or trailer.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise.
