Market Setup
Arts Market setup details:
Please find below further details regarding the setting up and operation of the forthcoming Arts Market in Hereford’s High Town.
The market will operate between the hours of 9am and 5pm. Please be set up and ready for trading from 9am onwards. Market stalls will be erected on the morning of the event and be ready for exhibitors use from 8am onwards.
Sat Nav post code for town centre - HR1 2AA
It may be useful to remind you that market stalls are approximately 10’ wide by 7’deep with a 10’ x 4’ tabletop (unless otherwise requested), a canopy, and backcloth to keep you dry. All tabletops must be covered. Table-coverings, signage, and chairs are not provided. Please note this market will have mains electricity on all stalls that have requested it. ALL electrical equipment used on the market MUST have a clearly visible current PAT test sticker. Hanging systems, display and electrical equipment will be checked for safety.
Please remember to bring your public liability insurance details with you as anyone unable to show these documents on the day will not be allowed to exhibit.
As the market is due to take place in a pedestrian area, it will not be possible to pull up immediately next to the stalls therefore unloading will be done from the closest possible position. Enter the pedestrianised area of High Town from the Union St / St Owens St direction. Please park up safely at this point in the general vicinity of the market and I will be on hand to give you further instructions.
Once unloaded, you will be asked to park your car in one of the nearby public car parks. The nearest long stay car parks are: the multi storey in Widemarsh St (£3 for the day) or Shire Hall which you enter through Gaol St opposite old Jail (£4 per day). Both car parks are only a short walk from High Town but because of the City’s one way system you may have to take a scenic route. Please remember that as traders, we are not exempt from normal parking byelaws. Cars left in no park zones, double yellow lines, blocking access etc may be ticketed so please be careful where you park. Anyone having difficulties on the morning may feel free to call me on my mobile for help.
