Apply for this event
Exhibit
ALL APPLICATIONS ARE VIA EVENT OWL ONLY which requires a card payment. You will not be charged if you are declined.
This event is primarily for Lancashire artisan food and drink producers. Exhibiting Lancashire businesses must be located within the Lancashire County Council boundary. Guests will be accepted, particularly if they are award winning specialists, all guests must produce goods that none of our listed exhibitors are selling.
Producer Stalls are those selling produce made by themselves and not others, to take home (i.e. cakes, wine, cheese, jams etc) i.e. not for consumption at the event.
Street Foods are those hot/cold foods sold for immediate consumption at the event - pizzas, hog roasts, curries, ice cream etc. Proof of local supplier purchases may be asked for. Large catering vans not required.
Onsite alcohol sales pitches are limited due to the proximity of our pubs, wine bars and cafes.
All producers are rotated each year so everyone has the opportunity of a 'good pitch'. However DO flag up on the application form any concerns you have about sun positions e.g. if you have a chocolate stand and need to be facing away from the sun for the majority of the day.
ALL vehicles/towing vehicles will be parked away, but in close proximity, from stands. Each stand booked = 1 vehicle pass.
TEN's APPLICATION LINK - only for accepted alcohol traders use.
A 50% deposit scheme is available, for those approved, between 8th February and 21st April. Please click on the relevant option at 'check out'. The Balance due is 29th June 2024. If you forget to apply the discount, then give your card details and are subsequently approved, full payment will be taken. We will not amend this transaction.
