The Halls does not offer on‑site parking for traders. However, several options are nearby:

On-street parking available opposite on Princes Street (limited).

SET UP TIMES

9:00am – Trader entry
Doors open for traders. You’ll have 2 hours to load in and set up. 

10:00am – Last arrival
All traders must arrive by 10:00am to allow enough setup time.

11:00am – Doors open
Please be fully set up and ready to trade by this time.

4:00pm – Event closes
No packing up before 4:00pm. Please pack away your own table.

6:00pm – Exit deadline
All traders must leave by 6:00pm. Late departures may incur a venue fine.

Please be ready by opening time and remain set up until closing. It’s really important that all stalls are fully set up before doors open and stay in place until the event ends. Early packing away affects the atmosphere for visitors and can make the fair feel less professional. It’s also essential for our risk assessment and insurance that the fair is fully ready before opening.

 

WHAT TO BRING

Table(s) and tablecloth
Cash float
Card machine
Flyers and business cards
Water and snacks!
Power bank
Extension lead

We strongly recommend that all traders bring a card machine. If you don’t have one, you may still be able to accept card payments using your phone. Please feel free to get in touch if you’d like any advice or guidance on taking payments without a card reader - we’re happy to help!

Access to power is not guaranteed and is subject to the venue’s discretion. If you require electricity, let us know in advance and we’ll do our best to position your stall near a socket. Please bring an extension lead, along with tape or matting to safely secure any cables. All electrical equipment must be PAT tested.

Only bring the products listed in your application form. Any additional or different items must be approved in advance by the Midcentury Markets team.

The following items are not permitted: clothing; real fur or taxidermy; items newer than the 1990s; or anything that could be considered offensive.

Refreshments are available for purchase at most of our events. If you prefer to bring your own lunch, please step outside the market area to eat. Many of our venues don’t allow outside food, and it also helps maintain a more professional appearance for customers.

 

TABLE HIRE

The Halls offers table hire for £7.00. Please add this to your booking on Eventaly.

If you didn’t request a table when you applied but would now like to hire one, let us know as soon as possible so we can arrange it for you.

Table hire will be indicated on the floor plan with a star next to your pitch and will be ready upon your arrival. If you can’t find your table, or if there isn’t a star next to your name, please speak to the fair manager.

 

FLOOR PLAN

The floor plan will be sent out on Thursday or Friday before the event. It is not possible to send it out any sooner than this as we are often dealing with last minute cancellations and additions. The floor plan will be sent to the email address on your Eventaly profile. If you don’t receive the floor plan – don’t worry, our fair managers will be on hand with paper copies on the day to show you where to go. The floor plan is subject to change on the day. Traders cannot request specific locations – we rotate the floor plan in the interest of fairness for everyone.

 

FOOD/DRINKS SELLERS

Food and drink vendors are required to submit copies of their food hygiene certificate, public liability insurance, risk assessment and any other relevant documentation via email. Vendors who have not provided these documents in advance will not be permitted to trade on the day of the event. All stalls must clearly display allergen information.

You can use the Facebook event page to invite local friends and fans, and share photos of the items you will be bringing along!
