Allocation of casual sites
When a booking request is made the individual will be advised by email that they have either been allocated a site, or they have been placed on the waiting list. Any offered site is NOT confirmed until payment is received. Payment must be made by the Tuesday eleven days before the Market unless the offer is a resut of a cancellation. If payment is late the site may be reallocated to another casual stallholder.
All bookings for each monthly market are closed on the Saturday afternoon, a week prior to market day. Please do not assume that because you attended a previous market you will be given a site automatically at the next market. Casuals must apply to the coordinator each month if they are wishing to attend. Payment for a site needs to be made by the Tuesday eleven days prior to the market to confirm your booking.
The market is on rain, hail or shine - unless it's a Code Red day. Please read the Market Policy and Procedures document for further information (see link below).
Payment for casual stalls

Approximately 75% of all stalls at the market are designated as permanent, with the remainder of stalls being reserved for casual bookings.
Permanent stallholders need to confirm their booking by payment of the site fee by the Tuesday eleven days prior to the market.
If we do not receive an email to cancel by the Saturday afternoon prior to the market, you will be charged the monthly site fee.
