How the day works
Service is quick and friendly: guests are served at the hatch or a serving station, so a crowd is looked after quickly. Afterwards we clear our area. Late-September events in Mansbridge see sunset at about 7:10pm, so later trading needs some lighting. Tell us how the site will be lit when you send the pitch details.
- First, we check the dates.
- We agree what we will serve and where.
- Paperwork goes over in good time.
- The hatch opens when the event does.
- We trade, then pack down.

Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone has to serve all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
