TRADER INFO - NOTTINGHAM THE NEST
We're thrilled to have you join us as a trader at Midcentury Markets - Nottingham!
Please read through our Trader Info for event specific details and set up information.
This page is regularly updated to reflect current loading information. Please make sure you have read and understood the information, even if you have traded with us at this venue previously, as this may have changed.
ARRIVING AT THE NEST
Address: The Nest, Iremonger Road, Nottingham, NG2 3HU
For detailed directions and transport options, please check the location on Google Maps
LOADING
LOAD-IN
YELLOW
PINK
Load in from the PINK side, park as instructed below, and unload your stock from your vehicle. If you have a trolley, please bring it with you.
Please be mindful to unload your vehicle promptly and move it to the designated parking area before beginning your setup. Once you have unloaded, all vehicles must be moved to Meadow Lane Stadium for parking prior to setting up. Sam, the Event Manager on site, will be available to assist with directions on the day.
All traders will be setting up inside The Nest main hall.
Access to The Nest is via Iremonger Road. The venue is at ground floor level, and vehicles are able to drive onto the site for loading and unloading. There are also multiple side doors along the main hall where you can park nearby and unload - this option may make it easier to exit the site afterwards.
PARKING
MEADOW LANE STADIUM
A limited number of parking bays are available for traders at Notts County’s Meadow Lane Stadium. Please enter through the main gates on Meadow Lane and park in any unallocated space numbered 37 or above.
If possible, we recommend being dropped off to help ease congestion and parking on the day.
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 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
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 Nest 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.
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.

As always, the event has been heavily advertised but we always appreciate any extra promotion, particularly on social media. Please tag us in any posts that you share about the event and we will repost where possible.
You can use the Facebook event page to invite local friends and fans, and share photos of the items you will be bringing along!
