Information for Stallholders at Sneinton

This page contains information for prospective stallholders. Please read it carefully BEFORE booking a stall.

The Sneinton market runs from 11am to 3pm on a Saturday at either Sneinton Marketplace, NG1 1DS or Sneinton Market Avenues, NG1 1DW. It does not run every month so check the booking page for available dates. For those of you from out of town, it’s pronounced ‘SnenTon’.

We welcome stalls of any type. Your business does not have to be entirely vegan but ALL products or services sold or promoted at the market MUST be vegan in accordance with the Vegan Society definition. We reserve the right to refuse bookings for any reason; we wish to ensure that the market has a diverse range of stalls and that the stalls represent a positive vegan message. If your business is part of a MLM (Multi-level marketing) scheme then please check the appropriate section of the Terms and Conditions before applying.

There are 16-20 outdoor pitches available at the Avenues site. There are many more at the Marketplace site. Fees depend on the type of stall.

We may pick and choose which stalls can trade each month to create a vibrant and diverse market.

Stalls must have a gazebo or other covering. You can rent a gazebo from us if you do not have one. If you bring your own covering you must ensure that it is in good, safe condition and weighted down (the site can get very windy). There may be an additional charge for outdoor stalls that extend more than 3 metres in either direction.

For markets at Sneinton Avenues, you can also have a stall in one of the undercrofts that run between the avenues. These stalls are undercover so you don’t need a gazebo. The stall must be just a single table.

Tables are available to rent. We do not provide table cloths.

For markets at Sneinton Avenues, there are electricity connections available to some pitches. There is a price to rent these and the electricity is metered and charged after the market. The supply comes from a 16 amp socket. We may be able to supply an adapter and 13-amp extension cable if you need one. All electrical equipment used must have a valid PAT test certificate. Generators are not permitted on the Sneinton Avenues site.

For markets at Sneinton Marketplace, there are no electrical connections available. You may use a diesel (but not petrol) generator but please advise us in advance if you plan to do this.

Vehicles can be brought onto the site to set up and dismantle your stall. Vehicles must be removed from the site during market hours; there is metered on-street parking available nearby.

Stallholders must have Public Liability Insurance that covers their activities at the market and Product Liability Insurance for any retail products they make. Any stall serving food must have local authority food safety registration and documented food safety procedures. Any stall selling cosmetics must have a licence and product test certificates. Stalls selling alcohol must arrange their own event licence. All stallholders should carry out a risk assessment before trading. These documents will be checked before you trade.

Please also read the Terms and Conditions for Stallholders which includes a code of conduct for all traders.

If you wish to trade at the market, please complete forms to register your business and make a booking at Sneinton.

If you are trading with us for the first time, we will usually (at our discretion) reduce the stall fee by £5, reduce gazebo rental by £5, and lend you a table for free.
