Stall Holder Information

  • Hours:  9 am -2 pm every Saturday. St Andrews Market is only closed on days of Total Fire Ban.
  • How to book a stall: We don’t pre-book casual stalls, you need to sign in by 7.45 am Saturday morning. Park on the street. Do not enter the market with your car until after a committee member tells you to do so.

  • Stall cost:  $25 and cash only – Please bring the correct amount.
  • Late arrivals: We charge a late fee of $30 to those who arrive after 8.30 am. This is to encourage everyone to be punctual and eliminate volunteers attending to late arrivals.
  • Non-payment: All stalls must have a receipt before driving their vehicle into the market. You also cannot start setting up or start unloading items within the market unless you have a stall holders receipt issued by a committee member. No receipt and/or non payment will result in exclusion from the market and being required to having to leave the market immediately leave the market area.
  • Will you get a site?  Casuals are allocated a site on a first come first serve basis. Those who are flexible in how they set up will almost always be allocated a stall site. We recommend attending a few markets throughout the year before the busy November/December season starts to get a feel for how the market works. If you have food please see the section below on Food and consumable products.
  • Items available for hire: No items are available for hire.
    You must bring your own canopy, tables, chairs (if you want to sit), and weights for your canopy.

  • Marquee Weights: It is your responsibility to secure your canopy, marquee and gazebos with appropriate weights at all times. The St Andrews ground is hard and clay like. We allow pegs into the ground however you may not be able to safely secure your marquee due to the terrain. You must ensure your marquee is weighted/secured to the ground at all times. Steel weights are preferable. Be prepared for gusts of wind
    regardless of the weather forecast. There are no weights to be borrowed nor hired from the market.

Unload your car as quickly as possible and remove from market site. Do not set up your stall while your car is still in the market.
