Booking
Space at Carnival 2012
If
you want to book space at our event to sell food or
other goods, or you are a for-profit organisation,
then click below. Not-for-profit groups can apply
on this page.
Charities,
community groups, sports clubs etc can book space
absolutely free of any charges. The only thing you
may need to splash out a little cash on is your own
stall and/or tent/marquee.
CARNIVAL
WEEKEND EVENTS
You
can book to have space in the town centre at the Family
Fun Day (Sat June 23rd 11am to 4pm) or on Alexandra
Park at the Picnic in the Park (Sun June 24th 1pm
to 9pm).
In
the town centre we will be allowing non-profit stalls
both inside and outside the Spindles Centre. At the
park we have two fields available.
If
you are a non-profit group you can register by completing
the form on this page. After you've registered with
us for space, using our online form, we will contact
you, via your email address, to confirm your booking
with us.
HOW
MUCH SPACE?
The
reason we need to know is to make sure we can plan
if you want something more than the average.
Our
general rule is that you should plan for a 6m by 3m
space - this is generally adequate for an average
stall with a vehicle parked beside it.
SETTING
UP YOUR STALL
Sometime
nearer the event, about a fortnight before, you will
receive a pack from us containing all the details
you'll need to know. We have to be fairly strict with
our procedures so that we can organise the event safely
and with the least amount of congestion etc. We will
send you more details nearer the event via email.
COLLECTIONS
Once
you have set up, either in the Town Centre on Saturday
or in the Prk on Sunday, you can start to look forward
to people taking an interest in what you have to say
or offer, on behalf of your cause. As a rule you are
allowed to collect money and hand literature out to
the general public within a radius of 10 metres from
your base plot. It is for the general public to come
to you - not the other way round. We want the public
to enjoy our event and not feel they are put upon
every where they turn.
AND
THATS IT! Just complete the form to the right and
let us do the rest. If you have any other queries
then write them in the Extra Information box on the
form and we'll contact you.
