The Handmade Expo Market is proud to present Destash Markets wherever they pop up so that you can destash those unwanted craft items, fabric, supplies and long forgotten projects. It is also somewhere you can stock up on more fabulous craft items! No fully completed, ready for sale items are to be sold.
What YOU get for your stall fee:
OUR GUIDELINES:
1. The Handmade Expo’s Craft Destash Markets are solely craft destash markets. Stallholders may sell fabric, buttons, lace, papercraft products ie card, stamps, punches etc, general craft items, ribbon, embellishments, crochet wool, cross stitiching kits, tools, wood, jewellery findings. ALL PRODUCTS MUST BE IN GOOD CONDITION. Approval is up to the discretion of the coordinator. Completed ready for sale products are not allowed for sale. UFO’s are accepted.
2. Details of Bump in/Out times and stallholder parking for the market will be provided in an email in the week before market day. Try to avoid parking close to the venue in carparks that customers would use. We realise that this won’t always be possible but if close customer parking is taken up by stallholders, then maybe people will leave because they couldn’t get a carpark.
Pack up time is as per advertised. We do not have to stop trading at these times. If there are lots of customers, we can keep trading and this is at the discretion of the Market Coordinator. No early pack up will be permitted unless directed by the Market Coordinator.
Please do not pack up until advertised closing times as this causes hazards for the General public and yourself and could negate your insurance cover and therefore you would be liable for any damages. If you have sold out of your product, please see your market coordinator for further instructions.
3. Allocation of individual sites is done a few days before the market. Any requests you have need to be placed on your application form for consideration. Your table/s and display MUST fit within your allocated spaces.
4. The Handmade Expo’s Craft Destash Markets trade rain, hail or shine. No credits or refunds are issued in the case of bad weather. The Market will trade in all weather conditions. Please do not apply for a stall unless you are prepared to take the risk. All the venues are mostly undercover/indoor with some outdoor sites. No refunds or transfers of payment will be given whatsoever if cancellation occurs within 7 days of the market.
IF PAYMENT IS NOT MADE BY THE DUE DATE A LATE FEE OF 50% OF YOUR STALL FEE WILL APPLY.
5. Raffle tickets are not to be sold at The Handmade Expo’s Craft Destash Markets unless prior approval has been given.
6. Stallholders are responsible for leaving their site and surrounding area clean & tidy from rubbish, etc. If a stallholder’s site is not left clean, a $10 cleaning fee may apply.
7. Stallholders must confine their displays and signs to the stall site and keep pathways clear for patrons as per insurance policy requirements. If your tables do not fit within your allocated space you may not be able to use them. Tablecloths are required and must be tucked into and around tables so as not to cause a hazard.
8. If you have an outdoor site, you MUST have a canopy and they MUST be secured or weighed down at all times.
9. Stallholders using gas or electrical appliances must have a suitable fire extinguisher or fire blanket on site. Electrical leads must be tagged by a qualified tester every 12 months...max. This will be checked regularly.
