Before you choose a spot
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the space before we confirm. In general, we need:
- A pitch with space around it, away from tents and structures
- Clear information on power, water and waste
- Room for the truck or trailer and customers
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise.
How the day works
When we arrive, we park the truck or trailer in the agreed spot and set up. Service starts at the time we have agreed, so everything runs to your schedule. Christmas markets in Merton trade in the dark from about 3:55pm, so site lighting matters for traders and visitors alike. By contrast, a midsummer fair stays light until about 9:25pm.
- Send the event name, expected visitors and pitch size.
- You get our menu and pitch requirements.
