Suggestions
You’re welcome to bring a small gazebo to place over your car (please ensure it’s secured in case the wind gets up and that it doesn’t impact neighbouring vendors).
We recommend you bring your own trestle table, picnic rug and/or groundsheet to display your items on, and a chair to sit on.
You’ll need to bring a cash float in a bag or container so you can give customers change, or a fully charged mobile Eftpos.
Remember to bring a hat and sun block.
