The day is split into 3 sessions to keep the day flowing and the footfall constant throughout the day.

Quiet hour: 11-12

Session 1: 12-2

Session 2: 2-4

——

Quiet hour is specifically for people who get overwhelmed easily and would otherwise avoid the show. This hour will have a restricted footfall and no music or bright/flashing lights.

We ask you to be considerate during this time and to not approach people until they approach you.

There are a few places close by to park. Our recommended locations are:

• Trinity Street Car Park -

  29 Heath Mill Ln, Deritend, Birmingham B9 4AL

• North Yard Car Park - Custard Factory, Deritend, Birmingham B5 5ST

• Just park Liverpool Street - Teamworks Karting, 2 Liverpool St, Deritend, Birmingham B9 4DS

• Digbeth High Street Car Park - High St, Oxford St, Birmingham B5 6DY

We recommend avoiding the use of the Zellig car park where possible, as it tends to fill up quickly. We would also like to keep these spaces available for attendees who may require accessible parking.

We also recommend avoiding the use of Fazeley Street Car Park, as it has a history of vehicle related crime and does not have CCTV coverage in place.

Tables and chairs are provided free of charge. Everyone will be allocated 1 table and 2 chairs. This is with the exception of the small stands that do not get a table

If you don’t need them just let us know - ideally before the day so we aren’t moving tables on the day

Tables are standard 6ft trestle tables

Teas, coffees and snacks will be provided in the vendor only area.

For anything more substantial there will be food vendors in the courtyard

The floorplan will be available 1 week before the event

Most of you have booked a standard sized stand.

This is 2m by 1.2m

Every part of your display (and you) should sit comfortably within this space.

Please practice your set up and make sure you can fit easily inside your area. Our Health and Safety risk assessments rely heavily on ensuring space for people to move throughout the venue safely if there is a need to.

Not to mention encroaching on your neighbours stand is icky.

• If you have booked a small stand your space is 1.2m x 1.2m

• If you have booked a large stand your space is 4m x 1.2m

• Please remember to bring your public liability insurance and hygiene certificates for those selling food.

• Make sure all electrical items are PAT tested (or are less than 12 months old)

• Make a risk assessment of your display. Make sure all signs are secured, all furniture and fittings are stable and there are no trip hazards

• All walkways must be clear
