Space, access and the venue
No two venues are the same, so we’ll ask about yours before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- Your arrangements for power, water and waste
- A level pitch on firm ground
- Access for the truck or trailer at set-up
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise before you book.
How it works
We take care of everything you’ve booked, from set-up to service, so you can enjoy your event. At midsummer, events in Lilyvale stay light until about 9:15pm, which helps evening trading. For winter markets, dark by about 3:50pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Tell us about the event and pitch.
- We send our menu, needs and the documents you ask for.
- We set up in the agreed window.
- Orders are served from the hatch while the event runs.
- We pack down and tidy the pitch.
