Stall holder Terms & Conditions 

Thank you for your interest in booking a stall at Patch Event, one of our annual celebrations in the local community.  As part of this we value the effort that all our stallholders make to bring some local flavour while adding to the vibrancy of the event. 

We aim to be a low impact and environmentally sustainable event, so we appreciate stalls which minimise waste and which encourage reuse and recycling. 

Patch Events are volunteer-run, not-for-profit. However,  it still costs over £2,000 for example Spring in The Patch to put on. We rely on contributions from you and other stall-holders to cover about 20% of that (the rest comes from donations, small grants and our FWCP-run Beer Tent & Tea Tent.

We’d be grateful if you could check and abide by the following terms and conditions to help us with the smooth running of the event. Thank you for your cooperation and support!

1. Stall bookings should be made in writing using the appropriate stall application form, along with payment (payment can be made by PayPal - see the top right hand side of News).  Alternatively you can pay on the day before you set up your stall.  We now accept card payments, head to the bar to make the payment on one of their card machines.
2. Stall charges: Stalls may be paid for in advance or on the day, see the prices on the stall booking form at Stall Booking Form
