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.

Tyleranne Jones

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!

Sophie

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.
- 25/02/2014 at 8:13 am
  
  Sarah
  
  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

Jesse

Hi guys,
Just wondering if you allow dog clothing to be sold at the markets or if its purely for people fashion? Thanks! 🙂
- 20/03/2014 at 1:22 pm
  
  Marissa
  
  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 Jacqui, it doesn’t appear so? Perhaps try again.

Emma

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
- 13/05/2014 at 7:22 pm
  
  Marissa
  
  Hi Emma, we sure do, all handmade products fall under the designer category. Thanks

Stacey

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
- 13/05/2014 at 7:20 pm
  
  Marissa
  
  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 🙂

Cassidy

Hi, so all stalls have to have a tent?
- 21/07/2014 at 12:07 pm
  
  Sarah
  
  Hi Cassidy. Yes, all stalls must have a marquee.
21/07/2014 at 9:32 pm

Cassidy

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?
- 22/07/2014 at 8:03 am
  
  Sarah
  
  Hi Cassidy. Unfortunately we don’t have marquees for hire.
28/07/2014 at 10:05 am

Cassidy

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.
- 28/07/2014 at 10:43 am
  
  Sarah
  
  Hi Cassidy. That is fine. Thanks!
04/08/2014 at 5:54 pm

Cassidy

Hi again! Am I allowed to do one trial market and then not again? Or is it one trial market, then one every month?
- 06/08/2014 at 9:01 am
  
  Sarah
  
  Hi Cassidy. It’s one trial market then one market per month minimum ongoing.
11/08/2014 at 8:55 pm

Mary

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?
- 13/08/2014 at 7:19 pm
  
  Marissa
  
  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!

leanne

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
- 04/09/2014 at 1:52 pm
  
  Marissa
  
  Hi Leanne, the standard stall/marquee size at TVM is 3x3m. Thanks!

Kelly

Do you need a marquee or can you chance the weather? Do you rent them at all?
- 04/09/2014 at 1:51 pm
  
  Marissa
  
  Hi Kelly, it’s compulsory to have a weather-proof marquee at TVM. We don’t rent them unfortunately. Thank you!

Natalie M

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 🙂
- 22/09/2014 at 9:10 am
  
  Sarah
  
  Hi Natalie. Please apply so that we can review your products suitability to TVM. Thanks!

Chrissy & Greg Mack

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
- 20/03/2018 at 1:06 pm
  
  Sarah Schoeller
  
  Hi Chrissy. Please apply so we can review your suitability.

Airi

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??
- 17/05/2018 at 6:22 pm
  
  Marissa
  
  Hi Airi, You can definitely request to be next to each other.
