** Booking for the 15th May (Sustainability Festival) market closes on 4th May, subject to availability **

** Booking for the 17th July market closes on 26th June, subject to availability **

The May market will be the start of the 2022 Sustainability Festival and will be a larger market with music and community stalls.

Our stallholders are local sustainable business and organisations that encourage sustainable living. The sustainability criteria include that all food products are vegan (honey being the exception) and that no single use items are permitted, that are not biodegradable; refills are encouraged. Traders and community stallholders need £5m of public liability insurance cover, a completed risk assessment, they also need to provide their own gazebo with weights.

To apply for a stall at the May and / or July markets, please

1) Read the information pack below.

2) Complete the application form here,

3) Email us a) your £5m public liability insurance policy, b) your signed and dated risk assessment (a template is below), and c) and required food safety documentation. Your application cannot be processed without these documents.

Charity Stallholders please note – charity stallholders need a Charity Collection Licence to request donations from the public (or have a tin on a stall) and a Charity Stall Licence is required to sell items on a stall. The licenses are only required if a charity wishes to sell goods or collect donations (as opposed to eg providing information, giving away items). The licences are issued by St Albans City and District Council: details are here.
