Unfortunately at the last minute, the Continental market have pulled out of the second market site on Parsonage Green. (The market is still going ahead as planned on the Alderley Road slip road from Sainsbury's to Joules).
As a result a last minute opportunity has arisen for local businesses to trade at the Wilmslow Christmas Festival. As we have been let down by the Continental Market, who were meant to be located in two spots, we have now gained permission from the council to locate independent stall holders for the event, which previously wasn't possible. Although the festival starts tomorrow, we are being realistic and asking stall holders to be ready to trade from 10am on Friday.
The details follow below – if you are interested please contact me immediately!
- It will be FREE!
- Friday through to Sunday (Fri & Sat 10am to 8pm / Sun 11am to 3pm)
- Stall holders would need to be responsible for their own stand, setting up and dismantling at beginning and end of each day.
- Equipment ie tables, canopies / gazebos, lighting etc needs to be provided by the stall holders themselves, although I think we can source generators!
- Shops from along Parsonage Green will supply them with toilets and hot drinks up to 5pm (can't vouch for anyone past this time as our shop will only be staffed by one person, so we won't be able to help outside of 5pm).
- It's a great opportunity as the festival and site has been heavily marketed – we've simply been let down by the 'professionals'.
Interested? Call asap and speak to Jo Nicholson on 07815 320085 or email.
We all need to maximise sales at the moment and this is a really fantastic opportunity for crafty, foodies etc to maximise their earning potential at this crucial time of year! It will be fab!
Apologies for the short notice – but last minute opportunities are there for the taking, so don't delay!
