Food Market Applications

How to Apply

For 2026, we will have the same position for the Food Market, with all outside stands who will supply their own gazebo/marquee. If space permits, we would hope to allow up to a metre gap between each Stand.   

For 2026, stand costs remain the same until 30th June 2026 after which there will be a slight increase to £140 for the standard 3×3 metre pitch.

We have discovered that there was an outage worldwide with Starlink on our Show Day last year which is why we had such problems with connections. So for 2026 as a trial, our WIFI providers will work with a company called Dines who will provide you with their own card machines which can work offline if connections go down. There is a charge of £25 + VAT for this (they will provide invoice) and this will be deducted from the monies you take processed with Stripe. However Stripe card transaction charges with them are the cheapest we have come across  –  a £10 transaction would cost 17.5p (1.25% + 5p). The Show is switching to this as we are currently charged 35p for the same transaction for what we do (1.5% + 20p). Traders will have to use the Dines machines unless they have their own starlink, and they will set you up on either the sunday before the show or early on Show Day. You will be advised your individual Stand WIFI codes by Rural Broadband, which will service a maximum of 3 devices, a week before the Show. It is impossible to guarantee 100% online WIFI coverage.

We recommend that traders do have a cash float with them. Cashback is also available for the public at the Main Admission Gate and the Administration and Finance Marquee near to the Members Enclosure entrance.

There will be a specific entrance into the Food Market with clearly marked signage, and there will be some buggies which will operate exclusively from the Main Admissions Gate to the Food Market Area.

You will be advised of your stand location in good time by Charlotte Gurney, Head Steward. Email: [email protected]
