From time to time we may wish to take pictures of your stock and stand, with a view to publishing them on our website, or in any printed material that we use for the promotion or publicity for our events. Please notify The Organiser if you wish to not allow photography.

On the Booking Form Traders are requested to give an accurate account of the stock they will be selling and the percentage of imported stock. This description will be used to facilitate your placement at the fair. Only the goods you have declared beforehand will be sanctioned for your table and you may be asked to remove unauthorized items.
Exhibitors must not knowingly bring to the fair or offer for sale any item that has been copied from the copyright designs of (an) other craftsperson(s), stolen or that is restricted by contractual agreements elsewhere. Where legal action has been initiated in respect of such infringements, the alleged perpetrator must not bring the item(s) in dispute to the fair. The Organisers and The Venue (their servants or agents) will not accept any liability whatsoever for any loss of business sustained by any exhibitor. This or any other exclusion(s) of items that The Organiser, at their discretion may deem to be prudent, should satisfy themselves that they are not infringing copyright law in any way whatsoever. Exhibitors must not do anything or display any item(s) that could bring the event, The Organiser, or The Venue into disrepute.
No large boxes, tubs or containers holding stock for sale, are permitted next to, beside, or underneath your table. No side tables or chairs to be used to display stock. Tables at the rear of your stand to cash and wrap are not a problem, space permitting. Please be aware, if you erect any boxes or tables, you will be asked to remove them, unless they have been agreed with The Organiser beforehand.
(Please do not ask at the show as the answer will be no, and a refusal often offends).
The Organiser requests each Trader make an effort to display and present their goods and items for sale in a professional manner to the public, in order to keep the standards of the fair as high as possible.
All stands will have 2 chairs supplied and access to an electrical point, for lighting and cash tills (not kettles) but it may be appropriate to bring an extension cable. Please bring a suitable cloth to cover your table.
Most venues for MiniatureFairs will open to the Trader’s at 08:00hrs to set up, with
the Fair opening at 10.30am. The Fairs will then close at 15:00hrs. We would therefore
request that no Trader break down their stand until the end of the fair, unless advised
by The Organiser. However, discreet tidying up behind is permitted. Where evening
functions are held after our Fairs, it may be necessary to vacate The Venue by 16:30hrs
-
Where possible, we will provide free tea and coffee to Traders on the day of the fair. Please bring your own mugs and help yourself. (Westgate Hall, Canterbury one cup free of charge via voucher).
