Stall Holder Guidelines

We're looking for stallholders whose products, services and stall offers the following attributes:

• Innovative: consideration is given to the need for variety at the markets and the need to support niche industries
• Unique: individuality in product
• Quality: distinguishing characteristics or attributes, design and excellence in craftsmanship
• Sustainability: demonstrated sustainability practices, products and/or services
• Food: prepared, fresh or baked foods
• Presentation: visual impact of product presentation and proposed stall layout, encouraging a positive image for the stallholder and the markets

Community and charity groups

We welcome charities and community groups to apply for a stall, free of charge, to raise the profile of the group or charity via the sale of quality products with an appropriate theme related to the organisation.

Interested parties must:

1. be an incorporated not-for-profit community service organisation
2. benefit the Albury community
3. provide goods or a service that meets the stallholder criteria (as listed above).

Set-up times

Set-up is between 2.00pm to 5.00pm on market days. We suggest getting in early so you can present your stall at its best.

A fair go for all

We want to give our stallholders a fair go by making sure we limit the number of repeat or similar product lines. This way we keep the markets interesting and varied for market goers and give our stallholders every opportunity to benefit.

Weather

It's an outdoor market so we're at the mercy of the weather gods. In the event of inclement weather, the market will be cancelled. In this case, we'll let you know by 10.30am on the day of the market. You will be reimbursed for your site fee should AlburyCity cancel.

Cancellations

If for some unforeseen reason, you can't make it to the market - please let us know as early as you can. This way we can reallocate your site to someone else and we'll be able to keep the market nice and tidy – without any gaps.

Refunds will only be given in the case of advance notice. To be eligible for a refund, notice of your cancellation must be given to AlburyCity Events prior to the Sunday of the market. You will not be entitled to any refund if notice is given during the week of the market (Monday to Thursday).
