BOOKING CRITEREA FOR OUTSIDE STALLS

Chipping Campden Christmas Market is held on the first Saturday of December is a small market consisting of 34 outside stalls and 6 Food Wagons, plus our regular market in the Town Hall.

The Market is aimed at small local crafters, small independent businesses/traders, and local charities. As the Market has been running successfully now for many years, we have built up a list of regular outside stall holders who get first refusal on the stalls, the closing date for this is the second week in October.

Once we have heard back from them, and there are stall vacancies, contact is then made with those on the waiting list. Our ethos is to encourage crafters, small independent traders, and skills from within the local area, local in this context is within a 30-mile radius.

We try not to duplicate stalls or impinge on the trade of the local shops.

All stallholders must have Public Liability Insurance and those selling food a current Food Hygiene Certificate. Our waiting list opens for enquiries until the beginning of September.
