Hello, just wondering if you have to apply or anything to busk?
Hi Taylah
Just send us an email with a link to your demo

We have spots this Sunday if you’re interested.
Hi – I applied for the rack sale about a week ago. Was i supposed to receive a confirmation email as i didn’t receive one
Thanks
Hi Melissa. If you didn’t receive a confirmation email, we haven’t received your application. Please reapply via our website. Thanks!
Hi, I tried to apply online, filled out the entire form and then went to submit it but it crashed and I lost everything. I then emailed the Application along with my photo’s but I haven’t received email confirmation. I’m wondering if you received my email? Brand name – NOFASHN. Would you mind confirming either way, thank you so much.
Hi Chelsea. Your application has been received and will be processed within 14 days.
Do I need product liability for plush toys? security blankets, stuffed animals?
Hi Charlene. New toys do not require PPLI – only secondhand do.
Can I sell imported clothing or only locally designed and made items?
Imported items that are not designed by yourself are classed under our Pop Up shop category which is currently full. Feel free to apply to be added to our wait list. Thanks!
Hi there!
I have a lot of vintage clothing and second hand clothes from op shooed that I don’t want anymore! I was wondering how I would go about booking a site for only just one Sunday! It wouldn’t be an on going thing. Thank you, Tyleranne xxx
Hi Tyleranne. Please apply for a Jumble stall via our website. Thanks!
Hi Sarah,
I’ve recently started a handmade clothing shop and am currently trading online.
I would like to join the village markets but am not sure if I will be able to have enough stock for the 3×3 m space.
I don’t know anyone that wants to share a stall. Do you ever match together applicants that are both wanting to share a stall?
THanks,
Sophie.
Hi Sophie. Thanks for your message. Whilst we don’t permit shared stalls we can certainly keep you in mind should anyone else enquire (both brands are required to pay the stall fee each). Sarah
Hi guys,
Just wondering if you allow dog clothing to be sold at the markets or if its purely for people fashion? Thanks! 🙂
Hi Jesse, it would be a first 🙂 But we’d have to take a look at the application and assess whether it is the right fit for our particular market. Feel free to apply if you think it would be right for TVM. Thanks.
Hi TVM, is it too late to apply to sell per-loved & vintage clothing at the Rack sale at Burleigh on Sunday 6April?
If you apply today you will be ok 🙂
Hi, can you please tell me if you received my application for the rack sale that was sent on Monday.
Thanks
Jacqui Wild
Hi Jacqui, it doesn’t appear so? Perhaps try again.
Hi TVM,
Do you have stalls with handmade babies & kids products? I couldn’t see a category for that.
My business is Stella + Ruby. Thanks 🙂
Emma
Hi Emma, we sure do, all handmade products fall under the designer category. Thanks
Hi, regarding the pop up shop.. I have a kids label called between us and have been selling it in another shop that has recently closed. I have stock I want to sell ASAP.
Can I be classed under a Pop u shop?
Thanks,
Stacey
Hi Stacey, if it is your own kids label then it would be classified as a designer stall. If it’s not your own label then you can apply for a pop-up shop and we will assess it then, to see if it is suitable. Thank you 🙂
Hi, i am getting a coffee van and would love to do the markets, what would I need to do to be able to bring it on the markets?
Travey
Hi Tracey. We currently have a wait list for coffee providers. Feel free to apply if you wish to be added. Sarah
Hi, so all stalls have to have a tent?
Hi Cassidy. Yes, all stalls must have a marquee.
Hi again.
I’m hoping to do a trial market day but I don’t have a tent. Do you have any that people can hire?
Hi Cassidy. Unfortunately we don’t have marquees for hire.
If I am able to borrow a marquee, but has another business name on it, does that mean I am not allowed to use it? I’m very desperate at the moment as I don’t own a marquee.
Hi Cassidy. That is fine. Thanks!
Hi again! Am I allowed to do one trial market and then not again? Or is it one trial market, then one every month?
Hi Cassidy. It’s one trial market then one market per month minimum ongoing.
Hi. I have a similar question to the person above. Just wondering if it is possible at all to just attend one trial day if we can’t do it every month?
Hi Mary, we are looking for regular stallholders who can commit to TVM at least once per month. If that suits you, then please do apply!
Hey TVM ,
Just wondering what is the standard size of most of the current designer oztail gazebos going from recent stalls? Looking at a 2.4 x 2.4m however wouldn’t want it to be out of place if accepted at tvm if most fit the 3x3m site allocation?
Thanks
Hi Leanne, the standard stall/marquee size at TVM is 3x3m. Thanks!
Do you need a marquee or can you chance the weather? Do you rent them at all?
Hi Kelly, it’s compulsory to have a weather-proof marquee at TVM. We don’t rent them unfortunately. Thank you!
Hi guys, I am wanting to hold a stall for a party supply kit that I have produced, it contains mostly hand made reuseable eco friendly contents and are really funky and new, nothing that I have seen anywhere else. Because I am starting out would like to see how the people at TVM like it. Let me know if this is something I can do. Cheers Natalie 🙂
Hi Natalie. Please apply so that we can review your products suitability to TVM. Thanks!
Hi TVM,
Our business interest is in boutique chocolates (not made by us) that can be purchased and eaten on the go. Is there availability for a product like ours as we noticed that there aren’t any ‘food’ stalls available at the moment?
Regards,
Chrissy & Greg Mack
Hi Chrissy. Please apply so we can review your suitability.
Hi, I am thinking of applying for a stall with my friend. If we both get approved can we get a stall next to each other??
Hi Airi, You can definitely request to be next to each other.
