Paying for Space

Exhibitors are requested NOT to send a cheque with their application for space but to await receipt of the invoice. Payment for stand space is due within 30 days of the date of the official invoice. The Organisers reserve the right to reallocate stand space if payment is not received within this period. Any stand application received after Friday 30th March 2012 must be accompanied with the appropriate payment. Admission tickets and site plans will not be sent to exhibitors until payment has been received. Please note the Society is not VAT registered.

Allocation of Sites

The allocation of sites will be at the discretion of the Organisers, and although every endeavour will be made to meet exhibitor’s particular requirements, it is not always possible to allocate the exact space applied for in all cases. It has been the Organisers policy to offer exhibitors who have previously supported the show the same site as that occupied in the previous year. After Friday 30th March 2012, the Organisers reserve the right to reallocate the site concerned without reminder or further reference due to the strong demand for space.

ROW B (Horse Rings area)

The layout of the tradestands in this area will be the same for 2012 as in 2011.  The 40ft trade stands will be first on the row.  Traders in this area will be a higher premium but this price is to include the parking of one vehicle behind each stand. 

Indoor Shopping

The Craft Marquee and Indoor Shopping Marquee is always a very popular area and booking early is recommended.
