In partnership with the AIF's #DrasticOnPlastic initiative we plan to eliminate single-use plastics. We kicked this off in 2018 and are commited to continue the project with further steps in place. Listed below are initiatives you must uphold if your application to trade at our event is successful:-

-No plastic straws
-No polystyrene
-Only bio-degradable glitter to be used / sold
-Only bio-degradable/recyclable serve wear, stirrers, cutlery, cups, bags etc.

RECYCLING - We will have various recycling points for all traders to utilise onsite. They will be located behind runs of caterers. You must flat pack and store all recyclable materials within these areas rather than use the general waste bins. Further info on this will be available closer to the event.

All traders are required to put up a Green Deposit.

Market Trader Green Deposits are set at £50 per pitch. All Green Deposits will be added to your invoice if your application is successful. Green Deposits will be returned within 30 days after the event, provided your designated pitch has been left tidy and in good order and relevant account details have been provided. If your pitch is not left tidy and in good order then Victorious Festivals Ltd. have the right to retain all or part of your Green Deposit.

In certain instances, you may also be required to purchase such products from a specified third party. More information on this will be discussed with you upon successful application.

Victorious Festival is committed to being an inclusive event, welcoming Deaf, disabled, and neurodivergent festivalgoers, crew, and performers. To ensure an accessible experience for everyone, we ask all traders to prioritize accessibility at their stalls and venues.

We work closely with Attitude is Everything  to assess and improve accessibility standards across the festival, including the markets and bars. Remember, not all disabilities are visible.

Here’s a summary of key guidelines to follow:

Step-Free Access
- Ensure your stall provides step-free access wherever possible.
- If your structure has a raised level, include a ramped entrance and exit.

Entrances and Access Routes
-  Keep entrances clear, with a minimum width of 1.2m for wheelchair users.
- Avoid placing unnecessary barriers (e.g., A-boards or displays) in access routes.
- Queue systems must be at least 1.2m wide.

Ramps
- Ramps must have a minimum gradient of 1:12, solid handrails, and kickboards along
the edges.
- Use non-slip, textured surfaces like roof felt.

Flooring
- Avoid raised flooring where possible. If necessary, ensure ramped access with a
minimum width of 1.2m.
- Flooring must be flat, non-slip, and free of trip hazards.

Counters
- Counters should ideally include a lowered section (below 850mm) for wheelchair
users, with a recessed area underneath for ease of access.
- If this isn’t possible, staff should accommodate by taking orders directly in front of
the counter.

Seating Areas
- Ensure routes around seating areas are accessible and leave space for wheelchair
users at tables.

Large Print Price Lists
- Provide laminated price lists in easy-to-read formats (Arial, 18pt font, black text on
white background).
- Picture-based menus are also encouraged.

Be Friendly and Inclusive
- Train your team to assist all customers with patience and kindness. Patience,
kindness and offering extra help will make all the difference to some customers.
- Most disabilities are not visible—be proactive in offering help.
- Display a sign explaining how customers can request additional assistance.

Together, we can ensure Victorious Festival is a welcoming and inclusive experience for all.
