what do you get for your money as a stallholder?

​
4. Paid for targeted social media advertising for individual events, paid for printed advertising in local publications and large format outdoor banners with planning permission.

​
8. Stall Fees: Our stall fees are reflective of all of the above information.
At each market, makers are provided with a 5x2ft or 6x2ft sized table (selection to be made on the application forms), chairs, wifi and a discounted lunch menu (Marine Troon). The price for a stall at both Marine Troon and Maidens is £50 for a 5x2ft and £55 for 6x2ft with additional space charged at £15 extra
