To make a first informal approach about a market stall you could speak to Eileen Coe the Town Clerk by phone, visit, or email, or you could speak to Darren Smith the Market Supervisor on his fish stall, but not when he's busy serving!  Eileen and Darren are both very approachable.

Formal applications for a pitch on the Saturday and Tuesday Markets should be made in writing to the Town Clerk including:

the size of pitch required,

details of goods to be sold, and

a copy of Public Liability Insurance.

Applications are considered at the next available meeting of the Public Relations and Markets Committee which you can observe.  If approved a start date will be agreed and Market Regulations and an Annual Licence issued.  Payment is made weekly to the Market Supervisor (Darren Smith – Fish Stall).  Once established traders can pay a quarter in advance and benefit from a 10% discount.  The Market rents and regulations are reviewed annually.   A copy of the market regulations is available on request or can been downloaded here.
