1. Stallholder FAQs

Do I need Public Liability Insurance (PLI)?

Yes. All stallholders must have valid Public Liability Insurance in place to trade at Little Owl Artisan markets.

You’re welcome to use your own insurance, or you can purchase day insurance through us for £5 per market when booking your pitch.

 

Can I buy PLI on the day?

PLI must be arranged in advance. Day insurance is available during the booking process and cannot be guaranteed on the day.

 

Do you provide tables and chairs?

This depends on the market:

• The Monastery: Chairs are provided. A limited number of tables (18) are available to hire — most stallholders will need to bring their own.
• Victoria Market: Tables and chairs are provided.
• Other markets: Stallholders must bring their own table and chair.

All tables must be fully covered, regardless of whether they are provided or brought with you.

 

What size table can I use?

Tables should be no larger than 6ft long x 3ft wide.

Additional rails or display structures at indoor markets must be approved in advance and may incur a small additional charge.

 

Do I need a gazebo?

For outdoor markets, yes — unless stated otherwise.

• Gazebos must be no larger than 3m x 3m
• Larger gazebos or two gazebos require a double pitch

We also have two gazebos available to hire per outdoor event (£5), allocated on a first‑come basis.

 

What counts as a double pitch?

The following require a double pitch:

• Coffee traders
• Ice‑cream traders
• Larger setups that need extra space for equipment or queues

If you’re unsure whether your setup counts as a double pitch, please ask before booking.

Are markets curated?

Yes. All Little Owl Artisan markets are thoughtfully curated to avoid over‑crowding similar stalls and to give traders the best possible chance to trade well.
