  • Locally made, original, unique and high-quality items made by the stallholder.

All stalls are to be prepaid in monthly or weekly blocks.
All payments due strictly Tuesday 4pm before market day.

Electricity:

  • The maximum electricity usage per stall is 80 watts.  Food stall power requirements are negotiated upon application.
  • Low energy (LED or CFL) lighting is mandatory. Electricity is scarce on site and using too much will black out the entire market.  Don’t let this be you!
  • Stallholders must provide their own tested and tagged electrical leads. THIS WILL BE CHECKED. Stalls with untagged leads will be refused.
  • Stallholders are responsible for providing leads that DO NOT have joins (no multiple lengths)
  • All electrical leads to stalls must be kept off the ground.
  • Cables, attachments, and van sockets must be water-proofed.

Non-attendance at a market:

No shows or late notice of non-attendance at the market will be charged the full stall fee.  As the market is so small – a spare space is really obvious and detracts from the feel of the market. If you need to miss a market and give notice by 4pm Tuesday before the market date,  50% of the fee will be rolled over.

Cancellation of a market:

If we cancel a market due to bad weather the stall fees will be rolled over to the next market.
A decision regarding the cancellation of a market will be made by 2pm on the afternoon of the market day.

Notification will be via Facebook (and email/SMS).

WEATHER :

Outdoor markets are at the mercy of the weather and the Byron Artisan is no exception. The markets will not be cancelled except in extreme weather conditions so please be prepared.
