"TOP TIPS" FOR STALLHOLDERS

• Arrive at the Hall early on the day (access from 9 am) to ensure a relaxed set up and to make sure you’re ready once the doors open. The first hour is usually the busiest and it can be a bit chaotic to start with.

• Don't bring too much as the tables are not huge (1.8m x 0.75mapprox) and you will want to be able to showcase your goods. It can be overwhelming for the buyer to see too much on a table and can put them off from browsing.

• Have realistic prices.

• Ensure the prices are secure and clear on the items for sale.

• Set out your clothes by size and quality. Have signs telling people what sizes you have and what gender - people are generally after one thing.

• Take the time to tidy and re-sort your stuff when there is a bit of a lull.

• Have plastic containers for rummaging through – this works really well.

• If you are selling toys that require batteries try and ensure they have batteries in them so that buyers can test everything is in working order.

• Make sure you have plenty of change and plastic bags for packing goods into.
