Meet the Traders
Meet the Traders
In the heart of our vibrant community, our market traders form a tight-knit family, a bustling network of like-minded individuals who share not just a passion for commerce but also a genuine camaraderie that sets our marketplace apart. Each stall tells a unique story, from handcrafted artisan goods to fresh, locally-sourced produce, but it’s the warmth and support among the traders that truly creates an inviting atmosphere. During the busy Monday, you’ll witness a heartening scene: neighbours cheerfully exchanging tips on pricing, sharing creative ideas for displays, or rallying together to lend a helping hand when someone faces a challenge, whether it's a sudden shortage of supplies or the need for an extra pair of hands to set up a stall. This spirit of collaboration fosters not only a sense of belonging but also boosts the morale of the entire market, leading to lively interactions that enhance the customer experience. Our family of market traders reminds us all that in a world often dominated by competition, there is profound power in mutual support and community spirit, creating an environment where everyone thrives together.
We are still listing our traders at present, however some do not have websites or social media, they are what we call the 'Old Skool Traders'.

As you prepare for your upcoming trading pitch, we want to share a few key details to ensure a smooth experience for everyone:
*Please note that we do not provide gazebos, tables, chairs, or weights for your trading pitch. Be sure to bring your own setup to create an clean and inviting space for your pitch!
*Don't forget that having your own insurance cover is a must! This protects you and your investment, ensuring peace of mind during the event.
*Any food or drink vendor MUST be registered as a food business. This ensures compliance with local regulations and keeps your customers safe.
Additionally, you’ll need all the necessary food and hygiene certificates. These not only demonstrate your commitment to quality and safety but also build trust with your customers - This is also a requirement under the license granted by the council.
*Pitch Fees: £10 per meter, payable weekly in advance. You will be expected to commit to a weekly pitch should you apply. On the odd occasion we may have a space for one off pitches. You can contact us to see if we have a space, or watch out for announcements on our Facebook page.
Make sure to factor these fees into your trading strategy and budget accordingly. Knowing your costs upfront helps you make informed decisions and ensures you're operating in the best financial position possible.
