Stallholder Criteria
The Folk Festival Market is an opportunity for local people to sell quality art and craft, both new and second-hand as well as locally grown and prepared foods. The Folk Festival Market does not wish to encourage the sale of mass produced, imported low quality items and will give priority to:
