Access to the park is solely through Le Pouquelah entrance (by the museum). Please use hazard lights for all movement on the park at all times and note that no traffic is permitted in the park during show times. PLease always drive at WALKING PACE.
Setting Up
All stalls must be set up by 9.45am on Wednesday with all vehicles in the dedicated traders parking section in the allocated stall holder’s car park by 9:45am on both days. Please ensure you have adequate stock on your stand as vehicle movement will not be permitted for re-stocking.
You are not permitted to use more area than you have applied for. Please ensure you stay within your designated area. If you encroach onto another stall’s area, you will be asked to reduce your stall or pay additional fees.
Only essential vehicles are allowed to remain on site and this must be approved by a committee member prior to arrival on Wednesday. Vehicle movement is NOT permitted prior to 10pm except for exceptional circumstances and no movement shall occur without approval of the committee. If you have approval to remain on site you must park in the area advised by the committee.
During The Show
We are required to abide by a public event license, in order for us to do this, you agree to be in a position to close your stall no later than 11pm on both nights of the show. Failure to do this will result in the committee asking any queueing customers to leave the stall.
You must keep your stall tidy and free from rubbish at all times.
Vehicles will not be permitted on the park during the show, all deliveries must be made, and complete, before 09:45am on each show day. The only access gate to the park is locked and will only be opened in case of emergency.
Clearing Up
You are required to vacate the park no later than 12pm on the day after the show, please remember this is a public area after we have left and the committee will not be held responsible for any damage caused to stands or products left on site after the park is reopened to the public.
You will have vehicle access from 10pm on the Thursday evening, this is due to the large number of people in the main show area and an unacceptable risk to the public.
If you wish to close your stall early you may do so but will need to arrange transport of your goods to your vehicle. Hazard lights must be used at all times when in the park.
Please ensure you clear up all rubbish before you leave and during your time at the park, there are a large number of bins for small rubbish, we ask that you take any large items with you (this includes all catering products such as cooking oil)

The same applies for failing to adhere to the Terms and Conditions of entry or guidance given by the committee or other authority on site. If you are asked to leave the site no refund will be offered although you can appeal the decision by email to the committee president who will return to you with a decision after the show is closed.
