Casual stallholder
Thanks for your interest in being a casual stallholder at Bellingen Community Markets.
We welcome newcomers, especially if you make, bake or grow your own. Second hand, vintage and bric n brac stalls are great but we can only book so many per market. Artistic creators from around Australia are also encouraged to apply.
Diversity is the spice of life and our inclusive Bellingen Community Markets welcomes a wide variety of products and people.
A little info about having a stall at our market:
- Stall cost is $56 for a 3msq site using our insurance or $46 with your own insurance.
- It costs $10 extra per meter over 3m and there is a maximum of 6m sites for casuals.
- Food and skin products must have their own insurance.
- Casual stallholders fill out the booking form every month.
- Best to book after market just gone and 3-4 weeks before each market, so you don’t miss out.
- Priority is given to locals and out of town people who handmake.
- When we receive your booking form we will reply asap with a site number and further instructions.
- Please reply to Manager’s email to confirm your booking and lock it in.
- If you have booked but can no longer attend, please advise early so we can give the site to another.
- Sometimes our email goes into your junk box so please watch out for it after you apply and confirm promptly.
- Before booking your stall it’s important to read and agree to our stallholder ‘Terms and Conditions’.
- You will be guided further by this and clearer on your responsibilities while at our market.
- Stallholder patience, flexibility, cooperation and positive attitude is always appreciated.
