Introduction to our 2011 eventsThank you for your interest in our events. Your support is greatly appreciated. We are always pleased to welcome new faces as well as “regulars”. If you are an experienced exhibitor but haven’t yet exhibited with us, you will find that we take care to ensure that our events are realistically described so that you are aware of the size and style of the events you are booking. Our events vary in style and in content so we try hard to describe them accurately for you.

If you are new to the world of craft events and feel unsure about anything, do let us know and we’ll be glad to help and answer any questions. We were exhibitors ourselves so we do understand some of the potential problems. Although these are professional events and we do expect certain standards from exhibitors, we remember that everyone has to start somewhere so we’ll help as much as we can.

We organise events of various types and styles. These include indoor craft shows, craft marquees within other shows, craft markets, Christmas craft markets, garden shows, garden markets, wood fairs, food festivals and jewellery fairs. We aim to produce well organised, professional events at reasonable prices for exhibitors. As mentioned above, the size, type and content of each event varies so please read the details and let us know if you want more information. Call us or e-mail us ([email protected]). Although we have organised hundreds of events over the past nineteen years, we never forget that we were exhibitors ourselves first!

We aim to avoid excessive duplication of products so we need proper information about what you would like to exhibit. Remember that if you want to add to, or change your range of products from those mentioned on your forms, you must check with us before the events. We also need photographs of stands and products if you have not exhibited with us before.

Preference will sometimes be given to exhibitors who are able to demonstrate their craft and extra space may be available free. If you haven’t demonstrated at a show before, why not consider the possibility? Customers like to see you “in action” and it can help to sell your work. We are also keen to hear from specialist craft demonstrators who can enhance the entertainment value of the shows with larger demonstrations.

You will note that some of our events are housed in marquees. Please remember that although we only use marquees supplied by reputable and experienced companies, these are temporary structures and can leak or cause drips from condensation. It is always a good idea to bring polythene covers as a precaution and to leave your stand covered overnight.

A ground sheet is also useful as there is no flooring and the marquees are on grass.

ApplicationsTo apply for space at any of our events, first read the following event details. Next, please tick the relevant boxes on the “Initial Application” form and send it to us. (Do not send any payment at this stage). We’ll then send you any extra event details, a copy of our “Terms and Conditions 2011” and specific application forms for each show you tick. Please check that you are prepared and able to comply with the details and terms before completing and signing your specific application forms. You will find there are certain requirements you need to be aware of and comply with in order to take part in the events.Please note that product categories and restrictions vary. It is important to read the details in the sections relating to each venue. Some products will suit one venue but not another. All types of products to be sold must be mentioned on application forms.Applications will be assessed individually for each show so please make sure we know exactly what you want to exhibit. Please complete all forms fully and describe your products and stand, briefly but accurately even if you are a regular exhibitor with us. (Phrases like “as before” etc. are not sufficient and will result in your application being delayed). Your co-operation is very much appreciated. The overall presentation of the stand will be considered as well as the product so photographs are useful. Please call or e-mail us if you are unsure of anything.Our “Rolling Deposit” system makes it easy and inexpensive to book for a number of events in advance. Details and an application form for the “Rolling Deposit” scheme can be requested on the initial application form. All fees can be paid by cheque or credit/debit card.N.B. Space is not reserved until we have received and acknowledged your specific application forms for individual events. (We are happy to discuss bookings but we NEVER reserve space over the telephone).

Insurance: (You cannot take part without it)You must have insurance for “Public and Products liability”. Before the event, we must have a copy of your insurance certificate (or National Market Traders Federation membership card). You can send it to us with your application forms or, if you haven’t yet arranged it or it is due to expire before an event you are applying for, you can send it when you have it. However, please note that although we will process your application and accept your payment, you will not be able to attend an event if we have not received your insurance details. Please do not ignore this requirement as no refunds will be given if you are unable to take part in an event due to failure to supply insurance details in advance. N.B. Insurance can be arranged easily and cheaply (from around £50 per year). If you would like more information, let us know.

Electrical equipment:In accordance with health and safety legislation, all electrical equipment must be “PAT tested”. If your lights, extension leads, tools etc. are not tested and certificated and carrying a current sticker, you will not be able to use them. This is the equivalent of an MOT test for cars but applies to brand new items as well.Testing can be carried out by many electricians and is easy to arrange. We have test equipment and we can usually test and certificate items for you at the events if you arrange this with us in advance. Call us if you need to know more.

ns... Q. Arestandfeesshown“perday”orforthewholeevent?

A. Fees shown are for the whole of each event. We don’t accept bookings for single days.

Q. I’vesentinmy“InitialApplication”form.AmIbookedin?A. No. You still need to complete and return the specific application form for each event. We

will send these as soon as we can after we receive your “Initial Application” form. We receive many applications so it sometimes takes time to process them all.

Q. WherecanIarrangepublicandproductsliabilityinsurance?A. You need a specific policy to cover your liabilities for any injuries or damages etc. caused

by your involvement in an event. Your household or shop insurance will not cover you. We can’t make specific reccommendations but if you email us([email protected]) we can give you details of companies used by most exhibitors.

Q. Howmuchdoesinsurancecost?A. Premiums vary but most exhibitors pay around £50 - £90 per year.

Q. Myelectricalequipmentisnew.Shoulditbe“PATtested”?A. Yes. The “PAT test” is a requirement of the Health and Safety at work act. Any item you plug

in at an event must be tested and have a current certificate. It must also carry a test sticker. Surprisingly, it is not unheard of for a new item to fail the test!

Q. HowcanIgetmyelectricalequipment“PATtested”?A. Many electricians and small electrical shops will arrange this for you. Alternatively, you can

usually have it done at our events for a small charge. We have specialist testing equipment and we can issue a valid certificate.

Q. Willtherebeanaccessgapbesidemystand?A. At our indoor Crafts events, we give a shared access gap to one side of each stand. In marquees and for open-ground stands, we don’t provide a gap, so you must book

enough space to get in and out.

Q. Ineedtoleavebeforetheendoftheevent.Isthisalright?A. No. It is a strict requirement that you are there throughout the opening times of each

event. Please do not leave early or start “tidying” your stand or packing things in boxes until closing time. This gives a bad impression to customers and is unfair to other exhibitors. We do not tolerate it!

Q. CanIhaveextraspacetodemonstratemycraft?A. Sometimes. If your demonstration is interesting and we feel it will enhance the event, we

may be able to give you free extra space.

Q. WhencanIsetupmystandbeforetheevent?A. Usually the afternoon before the show but not always. You will receive an information

sheet with your acknowledgement and vehicle pass after we accept your applications. Access times and details of your booking will be included and it is important to keep them safe and refer to them before the event. (A file for each event you book is a good idea).

Q. Whyarestandfeesmostlyshowninfeet,notmetres?A. Because we like to be as flexible as possible and it enables exhibitors to book the exact

space they need. The alternative would be for exhibitors to book extra space by the half metre which, for many, would mean unnecessary expense. N.B. The Chichester Garden Market is booked in metres as available space options here are limited and less flexible.

Craftsat Lancing College

Lancing,NearShorehambySea,Sussex

Craft Shows for makers and designers(Retailersoffoodanddrink,craftmaterialsandsuppliesarealsowelcome)

Indoorevents-Datesbelow15thyearThese events are “maker and designer-only” craft shows with up to seventy five stands. In order to apply for space here, exhibitors must be involved in the design or manufacture of crafts for sale. These shows are not open to retailers of other people’s craft products or to agents with mass-produced or “multi-level marketing” products. Whilst we quite understand that component parts and materials must often be “bought in”, the main finished product must be the result of the exhibitor’s own efforts. N.B. This requirement does not apply to food products, craft supplies, kits and books which are also acceptable.

Applications will be assessed carefully and product quality, individuality and presentation will be considered. Designers must be solely responsible for the original creation of the product and they must have sole rights to the sales of it. Products must not be mass produced or readily available in shops. We will not accept applications from exhibitors who cannot show that they have a close involvement in the design or manufacture of their products.

Lancing College is a well-known public school, situated just off the busy A27 on the south coast between Worthing and Brighton. This is a very wealthy catchment area and visitors appreciate quality products.

The college is a beautiful setting and since our first events here in 1997, our shows have been extremely popular with both exhibitors and customers. The college grounds and chapel as well as the halls we use are very impressive and there is an atmosphere of quality which enhances the shows and encourages a positive response from visitors.

Craftsat Fort Purbrook

Cosham,Hampshire

Craft Shows for makers, designers and retailers

Indoorevents-Datesbelow19thyearThese events are open to craft makers and some retailers. They are not “Maker-Only” shows. Products will be wide-ranging. We can accommodate up to seventy five stands here.

At Fort Purbrook we welcome applications from exhibitors with products of good quality and individuality. However, we will not usually accept mass-produced, factory made products, readily available in shops. At these shows we do not encourage agents of “multi-level” marketing organisations. Preference will often be given to those who make their products and those who demonstrate on the stand. These shows are publicised as “Crafts” shows and customers expect to find different and interesting products in all price ranges. Applications will be assessed individually and quality, individuality and presentation will be considered. Food products are welcome but must not compete with the in-house catering.

These are well established craft shows with an extensive and loyal customer base. Fort Purbrook is situated a few minutes from the A27 on Portsdown Hill Road, Cosham, overlooking Portsmouth with wonderful views of the Isle of Wight. Less than an hour from the M25, half an hour from Southampton and fifteen minutes from Chichester and from Petersfield. This is an excellent catchment area and the shows attract a wide range of visitors.

The fort was built in the 1860s and is now restored and in use as an activity centre, partly under the control of English Heritage. It is an extremely interesting building. Our craft shows are usually very well attended. All stands are inside the historic building with the exception of some outdoor demonstrations etc. This is a very popular venue, attracting tourists as well as “locals”.

Garden and Craft ShowQueen Elizabeth Country Park

JustofftheA3,NearPetersfield,Hampshire

May28th,29th&30th(Bankholiday)Open to Garden, Craft and Food exhibitors

In the light of the success of the Chichester Garden Market and the popularity of our Craft shows, we have decided to combine the attractions and create an exciting event in the beautiful surroundings of Queen Elizabeth Country Park.

The Garden and Craft show will be set at the foot of the spectacular Butser Hill and the surrounding grassland and forest will offer a fantastic backdrop for this event. Garden displays will be enhanced by the scenery and the site is perfect for rustic and rural crafts demonstrations. This is a very well-established and busy venue.

There will be other attractions for the whole family but the main thrust of our publicity will promote the event as an opportunity for customers to see and, more importantly, buy a fantastic selection of items for the home and the garden as well as superb gifts and artwork etc. The event will be strongly supported by the management of this busy country park and by Hampshire County Council. This show will be heavily advertised and we are very confident of excellent support from customers.

Whether you are a “garden” or “craft” or “food” exhibitor, we hope you will want to be part of this show and share in it’s success. This is a great opportunity to display your products at a vibrant and exciting event.

Options for exhibitors: The garden, craft and food sections of the show will all include:

1. Space for open ground displays.

2. Marquee space for all categories.

3. A section of our own stalls, size 8ft x 6ft 6in for those who prefer not to be in a marquee but do not have their own stall or gazebo.

Garden-related stands of all types are welcome to apply. Our advertising will encourage customers to come to find everything they could need for their gardens and conservatories.

Craft makers and designers are particularly welcome here and will be promoted in our publicity.

In the general craft section, we do not insist that items for sale are made by the exhibitor. We do include a wide range of products but they must be suitable for the venue and there will sometimes be restrictions.

We will welcome exhibitors with locally produced and other interesting foods from further afield. The food section is open to producers and retailers. The food and drink content of the show will be extensively promoted and we expect it to be very popular.

In the marquees, minimum stand frontage is 8ft and extra frontage can be booked by the foot. Stands in the marquee are “end to end” so you must book space large enough to allow side access if you need it. Standard pitches in marquees are strictly 6ft from front to back. Stands must not protrude into the aisles which can be very crowded. If you require extra depth or an “island” stand in the marquees, please contact us. Various options are available.

If your stand is over 6ft 6in high, please note this on application forms. Fees: N.B. Stands are ‘end to end’ - no access gaps provided.

South Downs Wood Fair

Queen Elizabeth Country ParkJustofftheA3,NearPetersfield,Hampshire

July9th&10thOpen to Wood, Craft, Garden, Trade and Food exhibitors

Queen Elizabeth Country Park is in the heart of the new South Downs National Park. The newest of the fifteen national parks in Britain, the South Downs National Park covers a massive area of spectacular landscape between Eastbourne and Winchester. One of the objects of the National Park is to preserve and enhance the cultural heritage of the area. Forest management, timber production and the use of wood in all it’s forms is an integral part of this heritage. Therefore, Woodland Crafts are pleased to have been asked to organise and manage The South Downs Wood Fair in 2011.

This event will showcase all aspects of wood, it’s production and it’s uses. Exhibits will include everything from large forestry machinery to small scale craftsmanship in wood. However, there will also be many other categories of craft and general exhibits on show. Although this is essentially a Wood Fair, wood is by no means the only content. Visitors will be encouraged to come to buy a wide range of products and there will be plenty to attract the whole family.

The South Downs National Park Authority will be supporting the Wood Fair and Hampshire County Council will be among the various other official sponsors of this event. Publicity will be comprehensive and the Wood Fair will be given a very high profile by our own publicity as well as the official partners.

Like our Garden and Craft Show here in May, The South Downs Wood Fair will be set in the glorious parkland at the foot of Butser Hill. This wonderful venue is ideal for the event and is always popular with visitors.

Obviously, wood-related exhibitors will be particularly welcome but craft makers and designers in other categories are also encouraged to apply. All will be promoted in our publicity and the craft marquee will be a prominent feature of the show. In the general craft section, we do not insist that items for sale are made by the exhibitor. We do include a wide range of products but they must be suitable for the venue and there will sometimes be restrictions.

Garden-related stands of all types are again welcome to apply and exhibitors booking for the Craft and Garden Show here may see this as an opportunity to gain repeat business and follow up on

orders taken in May. We will welcome exhibitors with locally produced and other interesting foods from further afield. The food section is open to producers and retailers. The food and drink content of the show will be extensively promoted and we expect it to be very popular.

Whatever category your products fall into, we hope you will also want to be involved this show. we think this is another superb opportunity to showcase your craft or offer your products at what we expect will be an extremely busy event.

Exhibitor options include:

1. Space for open ground displays.

2. Marquee space for all categories.

3. A section of our own stalls, size 8ft x 6ft 6in for those who prefer not to be in a marquee but do not have their own stall or gazebo.

Craft Marquee Shoreham Airshow

ShorehamAirport,Shoreham,Sussex

For makers, designers and retailersAugust20th&21stour14thyear

(We are not the organisers of this show - we are only responsible for the Craft Marquee)

This is a very popular event which has been running for many years. Organised by the Royal Air Forces Association, the air show is well supported by the RAF and there is always a superb display of aircraft as well as many other attractions for families.

This has always been a thriving and successful event, regularly attracting some 30,000 visitors. Our marquee is usually well positioned near the show entrance/exit. In 2010 the marquee was extremely busy. We usually have many customers from among the show officers and crews and their families so aircraft-related products are popular. However, the vast majority of the many thousands of visitors are not connected with the RAF or the aircraft on show so general products are very popular here.

We do not insist that items for sale are made by the exhibitor. We do include a wide range of products but they must be suitable for the venue and there are sometimes restrictions.

Minimum stand frontage is eight feet and extra frontage can be booked by the foot. Stands in the marquee are “end to end” so you must book space large enough to allow side access if you need it. All stand spaces are strictly 6ft from front to back and stands must not protrude into the aisles which can be very crowded. If your stand is over 6ft 6in high, please note this on your application form.

our9thyear(We are not the organisers of this show - we are only responsible for the Craft Marquee)

This is a very well-established traditional family event. 2011 sees the twenty fifth anniversary of the show and the organisers will be making it a show to remember. Although it is partly a “Steam” show, there is far more to interest everyone and the show is very popular with families who enjoy the 44 acres of exhibits and entertainment of all sorts. Always very busy, the show is expected to be particularly well-attended in this anniversary year.

Over the years, this has been a very successful event, regularly attracting over 20,000 visitors. Our marquee is extremely well-positioned near the arena and has always been busy. In 2010 the marquee was highly successful and takings were excellent. The show attracts customers from all walks of life so a wide range of products are popular.

We do not insist that items for sale are made by the exhibitor. We do include a wide range of products but they must be suitable for the venue and there are sometimes restrictions.

Minimum stand frontage is 8ft and extra frontage can be booked by the foot. Stands in the marquee are “end to end” so you must book space large enough to allow side access if you need it.

GardenMarket

in Chichester City CentreeastStreetandNorthStreet,Chichester,WestSussex

Open to garden-related exhibitors onlyJune24th,25th&26th

outdoorevents(stallsprovided)our4thyearIn June 2008 we organised the first Chichester Garden Market. The event was extremely successful and stallholders reported record takings. We repeated the success in 2009 and 2010 and we are expecting another great event in 2011. The market is held in the pedestrianised heart of the city centre. Our stalls are positioned in East Street and North Street, the busiest area of the city. These streets are always crowded with shoppers and the Garden Markets attract an extra, targeted and enthusiastic contingent of customers looking for garden-related items. During the previous garden markets, footfall records in the streets were broken and with extra publicity, we hope to exceed these levels in 2011. We have substantially increased the advertising budget and we expect this event to be the busiest yet. For many exhibitors, this has been one of their most successful events, so if your products are garden-related, don’t miss it in 2011!We welcome plants, garden furniture and ornaments, tools etc. In fact, any product or service associated with gardens or “outdoor living” will be considered. We provide you with an open ground “pitch” with a market stall. The stalls we provide are strong, metal-framed structures with sides and roofs made from waterproof, fire retardant material. They offer excellent protection from the weather. They are 8ft wide and 6ft 6in deep with an extra 18in awning at the front. Double stalls may be available and it may be possible to use your own stall or gazebo if it is suitably smart - please ask. Various pitch sizes are available so you can have a stall with open display space around it. We erect the stalls for you. Alternatively, you may be able to use your own stall by special arrangement.We are grateful for the strong support of the City centre manager and for the co-operation of the shops and businesses in the area. We have to avoid conflict with the interests of the shops in the city and all applications will need to be approved by us and by the city centre manager so please make sure that we have full details of all your products on your application form.Various pitch sizes are available. All pitches are a minimum of 2.5m in depth. Details on application forms.

(“Latenightshopping”until8pmThursday8th)

outdoorevents(stallsprovided)our3rdyearThis event has been fantastically successful in it’s first two years and 2011 is expected to be something very special. Like the Chichester Garden Market, the Winter Market is held in the pedestrianised heart of the city centre. Our stalls are positioned in East Street and North Street, the busiest area of the city. This is a fantastic opportunity to offer your products to very large numbers of people in this busy and prosperous area. The event will be supported with far more extensive publicity this year and will be promoted to the public as a chance to buy unusual, individual and high quality products. We have substantially increased the advertising budget and we intend to make this event “unmissable” for Christmas shoppers! Demand for space is already high from those who attended in 2010 so although we shall be offering some extra stalls, early applications are recommended.Preference will be given to high quality crafts, unusual products not readily available in the shops and to quality seasonal gifts and decorations. Craft makers will be particularly welcome but the market is open to some non-makers. We will need accurate information about your products in order to avoid conflict with the shops. All applications will need to approved by us and by the city centre manager.We provide covered stalls for exhibitors. The stalls we provide are strong, metal-framed structures with sides and roofs made from waterproof, fire retardant material and they offer excellent protection from the weather. They are 8ft wide and 6ft 6in deep with an extra 18in awning at the front. Double stalls may be available and it may be possible to use your own stall or gazebo if it is suitably smart - please ask. We erect our stalls for you so you should have nothing to worry about except setting up your display and decorating your stall. However, do bear in mind that outdoor events can be affected by bad weather.

Every stallholder will be responsible for lighting and decorating their stall in an attractive manner to contribute to the overall impression of the event. Some simple Christmas decorations and lights on each stall will make a big difference to the festive atmosphere. Pleasedonotapplyunlessyouarepreparedtodecorateyourstall. Each stall will be provided with an electricity supply (Maximum 500 watts).

Overnight security officers will be present and we have had no problems in past years. You should be able to leave your stand set up over night but this is of course at your own risk. We provide front covers for overnight closure.
