1. Sellers to arrive at 6pm to set up before doors open at 7pm. £10 payment is non-refundable and paid in advance via BACS and includes a complimentary festive drink.
2. Bring your own rail (or request a table) and keep 100% of your sales. 10 items or more suggested.
3. Quality & Pricing:
Items must be clean and ready to wear with no stains, tears, creases or missing buttons. No fake designer, undergarments, or worn-out shoes. Price items realistically (check eBay or Vinted, 70% off the price you paid works well) and label every piece clearly with your price and initials.
4. Sellers should bring cash change and have BACS details ready. Keep walkways clear so everyone can mooch safely. You are responsible for your own stand and belongings as the pub cannot accept liability for lost or damaged items, and anything unsold must be taken home with you, along with some lovely new pieces hopefully!
