Logistics
The event will open to the public between 10am—4:30 pm and we will send you a detailed rundown of the setup information including health and safety guidance on the Monday before the event. As far as we’ve been informed the cathedral has drive-up access before and after, but the roads are closed during the day. We will not have the option to drop off the night before.
Tables will be available to set up from 9am and trading must not cease before 4:30 PM unless instructed. – last time it stayed busy past four so we carried on a bit longer.
You are encouraged to have a card reader (using 4G as the public access Wi-Fi will not be reliable after a peak number of users are using it) you can also handle cash if you choose to and we advise you to use a money belt rather than a cash tin for security.
Stalls must be set up within the allocated parameters [table-top] and must not cause any obstruction to members of the public or other stallholders. It is also the responsibility of the stallholders to ensure that their stall is kept tidy and free from any trip hazards, litter etc.
Any free-standing stall furniture [e.g. stands, units, racks etc] must be adequately installed and if necessary weighted [Details of any such furniture must be approved beforehand – please email details to thecheshireprintfair@gmail.com before SEPTEMBER 23 if you think this may be a concern.
No electricity or generators will be provided, nor can any be used during the fair.
