Where cash payment is the only option, exhibitors who are commercially trading shall be encouraged to use separate gloves for cash/goods. However, it is important to remember that sanitising cash exchanges is probably more effective than wearing gloves, due to the risk of bacterial exchange from gloves.

In addition, exhibitors will be advised to consider additional measures e.g. goods transfer station where produce/payment can be exchanged with minimum contact, and ‘cash transfer boxes’ to avoid cash being handed directly from a customer to an exhibitor.

Yes, this is allowed. However, any Commercial Exhibitor can only do this in the International Street Food and Drink Zone, and be displaying a disclaimer notice where drinks and/or food is served informing consumers that hot stuffs can scald. Exhibitors will also be required to display their valid food hygiene certificate. Also, any spillages or breakages in the vicinity of their stall should be cleaned up immediately as they occur.

And Exhibitors must complete in advance a Hot Food Permit. Don't worry, we will keep you right :)

Any plans to take any petrol/diesel powered generators should be approved in writing by the Organisers in advance. If approval in advance is given, the following conditions will apply:-

• If used, generator to be used in a safe outdoor position sited on a drip tray and/or elevated off the grass to ensure no scorching of the grass (any damage to grass would need to be backcharged);
• Generator should be cordoned off from public;
• Awareness of exhaust fumes from generator not falling into excavations, buildings or confined spaces when siting generator;
• Signage used stating that there is electrical and fire hazards and that no smoking or naked flames are allowed;
• Refuelling on site is strictly prohibited and should be carried out off site;
• Generator to be serviced annually, visually inspected prior to use and have valid PAT certification;
• Ideally generator would be cordoned off from public with physical barrier, whilst ensuring full ventilation.

No, sorry. Commercial Exhibitors have to pay in advance for their spaces, to avoid cash and payment at the event. We want to avoid handling cash at the event, due to ongoing COVID restrictions. To book your space online, click on this LINK.

No, so long as you have our approval to be part of the Motor Show, you do not need a street traders license.

We want to be all inclusive whilst not diluting the visitor experience by having too many of the same brands. If we offer exclusivity for one brand, it means we have to do this across the whole event, and it may be that some businesses are selling additional sale lines. We would look at this on a case by case basis, but on the whole, no, we do not offer exclusivity to one brand/category of retailer. What we would look to do is move similar brands/categories away from each other. 

Market stall gazebos are available in a wide range of frames and covers. We recommend purchasing a robust pop-up commercial all seasons’ gazebos or heavy duty, fully waterproof pop-up gazebo which will make your stall stand out whilst protecting you from the elements. We also recommend looking at the wind strength of your gazebo before buying. The manufacturers spec will highlight the wind strength and strength of the frame. We also, in addition, recommend Heavy Duty Trampoline Parts & Corkscrew Shape Steel Stakes or Anchor Kits to offer further additional wind strength which can be purchased online or in most local hardware stores.

Please not that you will be responsible and liable for your own gazebo.

Maximum of 2 sellers per trading position I'm afraid. However, if absolutely necessary, children (maximum 2) can accompany the sellers, so long as they are from the same household and, for food and drink exhibitors, any produce is shielded from any prying hands!

We actively encourage you to have more than just yourself on your stand, so that you are sufficiently covered should you wish to take a comfort break during the day of the Motor Show.

Our cancellation policy is as follows:-

However, any Commercial Exhibitor trading alcoholic products or giving away samples shall submit to the Organiser in advance their Occasional License, and also have this on display at their stand at all times during the Motor Show opening hours. They must also be registered with their local Authority Environmental Health.

This is to ensure that we, as the Event Organiser, are operating within the confines of our Event Operator License. Consumers must be made aware that any bottle sales need to be drunk at home and not opened on site. 

We're afraid power is not available on site. If you need power for your pitch and you are to be using your own power generation (e.g. diesel/petrol generator, running car engine, etc.), this MUST be advised to our events staff prior to being on site, and MUST be approved in writing. Anyone found to be using power generation equipment not prior approved, may be asked to stop this immediately and may be asked to leave the venue.

There is not a card machine on site, therefore if possible it would be best to have a card machine on your stall.

If there are any greater concerns about your stall set up and condition of equipment, we may ask you to stop trading.
