A trader is unlikely to get a regular stall or pitch on an established market without first attending as a casual. This is the hard time, but remember everyone has done it. A casual trader must be prepared to stand in queues early in the morning hoping that a stall is available. Most authorities have a method of stall letting, but basically the longer you attend the more chance you have of being allocated a regular stall when one comes available. The exceptions to this are if you are selling a line of goods that clashes with a nearby trader, for apart from certain food products, traders in the same line are placed as far apart as possible, or if the market management consider they have enough regular traders in that particular line. Then you may have to wait a considerable time before a regular stall is available. For any more information you can email manchestermarkets@manchester.gov.uk |
