Exhibitors Information

Vetting 2008

All new exhibitors will be strictly vetted in line with our current system. prospective exhibitors should send photographs of there work with applications and, where possible, an example of the products to be sold. Visits to the Workshop may be necessary. For approval to sell items from abroad, they must all be listed on the application form in addition to photographs being provided. Exhibitors with items not listed % not approved will be asked to remove them from their stand. In order to reflect Great Britain's multicultural society, we are continuing to allow limited selection of items from abroad in order to satisfy the requests from visitors to our marquees for items from their homelands. Exhibitors will be able to sell both Crafts & Gifts at the discretion of H of E. Where possible in 2008 we are aiming to site stands selling edibles in a group setting.

Marquee Siting

All structures are positioned in prime sites. As land charges on prime sites are graded, some command a higher exhibition frontage premium than others. It is advantageous to pay a moderate amount more to have a potential of more sales and a higher number of customers visiting our sites.

Application Approval

2008 see us use a rolling deposit system. All bookings must be made on our Events Application Form; together with your cheque for the registration fee of 40.00 GBP inc VAT plus a cheque for 100.00 GBP inc VAT as your rolling deposit. Applications will not be processed without payment.

Where applications are not accepted by this organisation, for whatever reason, the registration fee and rolling deposit will be returned to the applicant in full.

there are limited number of spaces available per craft \ category, which will be allocated on a first come first served basis. However, consideration will be given to the size of marquee and number of exhibitors at the event when deciding on these limits.

Exhibitors adding extra products to their stand to those initially approved and are listed on their Application Form will be asked to remove such items from their stand.
