Traders: Interested in have a presence at the Festival?
They do still have some trader space at the Festival, although it is subject to availability as they try to avoid product duplication. They would welcome local producers, and those living within a 20 mile radius of the event would qualify for a 25% discount on their pitch.
They have a on-line booking process: https://www.marketsquaregroup.co.uk/core/eventdetails?id=339
