Evening all, hope you all had a fantastic Christmas?

I've got a couple of indoor places available at my first event of 2026 at Dobbies in Atherstone on 14 & 15 February, with tables being provided by Dobbies.

If interested in a place for this event only, please get in touch asap so I can check to see if I can fit your business in without duplicating with another stall.

***************************************

The website is not yet updated for 2026, so for this event only, applications are by email to [email protected].

As soon as Dobbies have confirmed the dates for March and the rest of the year the website will be updated with all of the dates and the application form, so please keep an eye open for me announcing that the bookings are open in the near future.

With the exception of one weekend in December, all weekend events are for 2 days, and there are a few one day bank holiday fairs planned as well. Stall fees are £20 if attending one of the days on a weekend or £35 if attending both of the days. There is no obligation to book in for both of the days.

There are 5ft tables provided by Dobbies, a limited number of places for people who wish to bring their own table and lots of spaces for people who wish to bring their own gazebo and full set up. Please note, requesting to bring your own table registers your preference but does not guarantee that you will be able to if offered a place, as these spaces are very limited in number.

All stall holders must have PLI cover of £5million.

All stall holders selling food items must have food hygiene certificates as well as a food hygiene rating issued by the council.

Anyone selling toys must have all of the documents of conformity for UKCA compliance, and all items must be labelled.

Places are offered on a first come first served basis in order of when applications are received, without duplication of stalls. If documentation is not uploaded to the relevant fields in the application form, your application will be added to a reserve list instead of being processed straight away.
