Exhibitor/stallholder FAQs
Q. How do I apply?
A. Applications for 2013 are now closed.
Q. How many visitors attend your events?
A. Depending on the weather, between 30,000 and 40,000 people attend the Festival in September and about 4,000 come to the Christmas Fair.
Q. What are your selection criteria?
A. Our aim is to offer visitors a wide range of the highest quality local, regional and occasionally international artisan food produce. To this end we strongly favour Welsh produce, although we recognise and try to reflect that the Marches and South Western counties of England are also local. We like to accept any artisan produce, however, that we consider absolutely top quality or of unique interest, made within the UK.
