Stallholders should ensure that their product(s) are in at least one of the following categories:
- Fruit and Vegetables;
- Meat or Poultry products;
- Bread and baking;
- Fish and Seafood;
- Flowers and Plants;
- Craft and Jewellery.

Stall Availability
There are a limited number of half or short stalls available for first time stallholders and very small producers please ask the co-ordinator for further details.
Local groups and charities
There are two free stalls set aside for use by any local groups. Groups who wish to have either a fundraising event or a promotional event should return the attendance form indicating which market they would prefer to attend. The promotional events can used to advertise the local group and its work, to raise awareness of their group within the local community and to encourage new membership. Assistance with the promotional event is available from the co-ordinator.
