Planning the serving area
We will be honest if a space won’t work, and suggest an alternative. The main points are:
- The event’s site rules and timings
- A pitch with space around it, away from tents and structures
- Flat, firm ground
West Hackney is in London, inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, which covers all of Greater London, and parking can be tight: tell us about parking bays, permits, a driveway or whether a parking suspension is needed.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise before you book.

How the day works

For winter markets, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.
