A market or festival in Alexandra Park would be licensed by whoever manages the park, and we’ll provide our part of the paperwork.

DIY taco night versus a caterer
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Read our guide to taco bars.
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.

The process
We take care of everything you’ve booked, from set-up to service, so you can spend time with your guests. Christmas markets in Landport trade in the dark from about 4:00pm, so site lighting matters for traders and visitors alike. By contrast, a midsummer fair stays light until about 9:20pm.
- Organisers send us the event details, dates and pitch information.
- We confirm our menu, our pitch needs and the paperwork your event asks for.
- We set up the truck or trailer on the pitch at the agreed time.
- Tacos, burritos and more are served to order while the event is open.
- We pack away and leave the pitch tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to park
- Measure any gates or arches on the way in
- Tell us what power and water the site has
