Market Lane Stand Applications

How to Apply

For 2026, we will have the same position for the Market Lane, with all outside stands who will supply their own gazebo/marquee.

For 2026, stand costs remain the same until 30th June 2026 after which there will be a slight increase to £155 for the standard 6×6 metre pitch.

We have discovered that there was an outage worldwide with Starlink on our Show Day last year which is why we had such problems with connections. You will need WIFI unless you have your own Starlink. It is impossible to guarantee 100% online WIFI coverage. You will be advised your individual Stand WIFI codes which will service a maximum of 3 devices, a week before the Show. Please have your Supervisor code with you, and it is recommended that you turn off your Refund function on card devices.

Rural Broadband can also provide traders with their own separate Starlink for the day  –  cost £98 inclusive of VAT per Stand (they will supply VAT invoice). If you want to go for this option, please put this under the Any other comments heading. 

We recommend that traders do have a cash float with them. Cashback is also available for the public at the Main Admission Gate and the Administration and Finance Marquee near to the Members Enclosure entrance.

All Market Lane Stands must be applied for online, except in exceptional circumstances when you can contact the Head Steward  –  Clarke Willis for a Paper Copy:  [email protected]        Alternatively you can contact Event Co-ordinator  –  David Hitcham for a Paper Copy:        [email protected]
