NOTES:
1. COMMITMENT
We require a minimum of 3 dates booked and paid for in one go. After you have booked and paid for 3 in a year you can book individual dates using the payment link on this form ie you do not have to keep booking 3 at a time.
2. MONTHLY PAYMENT STALLS
Because it costs so much to run this market, which is not Council backed, we need a constant and steady cash-flow. For this reason, we ask for a minimum of three months booked and paid for to secure your pitch. However, we do also offer an option for monthly bookings subject to an additional charge of £5 on each pitch. If you wish to pay month by month, you are kindly asked to send in a fresh booking form each month and pay within 24 hours of receving the invoice or use the payment link. There are no refunds issued for this payment method.
Please note your payment does not guarantee you a stall if we are already fully-booked. If that is the case your money will be refunded to you asap.
3. NEW TRADER SPECIAL INTRODUCTORY OFFER
If you are a brand new trader to Bath Artisan Market, we offer a 10% discount on any stall for your first ever time trading with us. In addition to this you will be paired up with a "Trader Buddy" who you will be able to email in advance with any questions. You will also be able to talk to them on the day for any further advice.
Please note your payment does not guarantee you a stall if we are already fully-booked. If that is the case your money will be refunded to you asap.
4. SHARING
Sharing stalls is permitted only under the following circumstances:
a) 3m x 3m stalls or larger ONLY. There is not enough room under our shared gazebos for 2 traders to share a stall without it impacting others.
b) You can request to share a 3m x 3m space with your friend under one of our gazebos but you will be charged the full double rate of £100. If you bring your own gazebo you may share for the standard gazebo price (eg £60 for artisans or large food producers). If you want to reserve a specific pitch there will be a £1
0 reservation fee added per market.
c) Both traders must submit their details on a booking form and show the appropriate insurance.
d) Sharing of stalls is at the discretion of the market manager.
5. Alcohol traders
a) Need to provide a TENS and bring their own table and in some cases their own gazebo/vehicle.
b). Alcohol traders booking the covered stalls (1.5 x 3m) are permitted to offer tasters alongside their products for take-home consumption. If you also want to sell by the glass/cup/bottle from these stalls for onsite consumption you will need to:
c). Pay an additional £10 applied if you want to sell by the glass/for onsite consumption from this size pitch.
d) Provide bins for rubbish that you take home as this costs us extra to clear up.
6. Waste is a big issue for the market both financially and ecologically. We ask all traders to take home their own rubbish and for those creating rubbish eg street food to provide bins and take rubbish bags home. We know you might take someone else's rubbish home but also someone else will be taking yours. We also ask you to think about using ecological packaging and consider if you can avoid using single use plastics and unneccesary plastic waste and packaging in general. If the park bins are full, it must not be left by the side of the bins or the market has to pay. We can take your waste for £5 per bag or item payable in cash to us on the day.
7. Cooking not permitted under one of our shared gazebos without agreement by the market manager
8. Pitch number reservation
We charge an additional £10 per market for you to reserve a specific pitch number (subject to availability)
You can also submit the number of the pitch you would prefer free of charge but it will be up to the organiser to allocate it to you ie it is not guaranteed.
You can reserve a pitch number (guaranteed subject to availability) if you
a) book and pay for six or more dates
b) you have been selected to be part of the "Buddy" scheme
9. Buddy Scheme
The Buddy scheme has been set up by Bath Artisan Market traders to help new traders at their first market with us. Buddys are required to answer questions from new traders in advance of their first market and be available to help them with queries on the day and then feedback any queries or comments to the Buddy Organiser to help the market. If you are selected as a Buddy you will have the option to reserve your pitch free of charge, subject to availability. This is by invite-only, although we welcome you contacting simon@bathartisanmarket.com to volunteer.
