Street Food Pitches (Min 4* Food Hygiene Rating required - 5* preferred)

Our definition of Street Food is any food or drink that is sold for immediate consumption (i.e. not sold in sealed packages intended for consumption at home).

We operate a commission scheme with our street food partners whereby we receive 25% of your takings. When you apply for a street food pitch you will be presented with a deposit ­invoice, which includes a compulsory £50 waste collection fee.

At the end of each trading period you are required to give us your gross trading figures (preferably a Z report from your till or a screenshot of your card machine readout).

At the end of the event we will calculate your 25% commission and reduce the total by the deposit you have paid (minus the waste collection fee). If the sum total is more than your reservation fee then we will send you an additional invoice. if your sum total is lower than your reservation fee then a credit will be issued. Your final fee will be 25% of your gross turnover + £50 (waste collection fee) + any optional extras you have booked (e.g. power).

To reduce landfill, we require all our street food traders to serve using reusable, recyclable or ­decompostable products (No single use plastics or polystyrene are permitted)  

All trade stands will be on hard standing.

Sales of street food to cease at least 30 minutes prior to the published Festival closing time to allow time for your queue to be served before the event finishes. If your lead time is longer then you may close your queue earlier. This will ensure the roads are more quickly cleared of pedestrians at the end of the day and will therefore enable us to allow traders vehicles in more promptly.

On Saturday night there is an option for Street Food Traders to stay open until 8pm.

Alcohol vendors (on-sales)

Alcohol on-sales is only available to active members of ­Ryedale ­Pubwatch. We work with licensed premises within the core festival area for retail brands - 'Pop-Up' bars are available for independent producers.We have a Premises License covering the entire Festival Site so you do not require a TENS. You must be over 18 years of age to sell alcohol and be the holder of a Personal ­License. You must agree to operate a 'Challenge 25' policy. All drinks must be decanted into a sustainable/­biodegradable ­cup (no single use plastics are permitted and no glass bottles or vessels are permitted). On-Sales will cease at least 30 minutes prior to the published Festival closing time to allow for 'drinking up'. This will ensure the roads are more quickly cleared of pedestrians at the end of the day and will therefore enable us to allow traders vehicles in more promptly.
