Trading at Maindee Festival

The 2010 Maindee Festival will be held on Saturday July 3rd  in the grounds of Maindee Primary School,  Corporation Rd, Newport, South Wales NP19 0BH. The site is near the city centre on the east side of the river. The event has free admission for the public. Subject to fine weather, we expect up to 6,000 visitors for a 8 hour trading period from 12pm (mid-day) to 8pm.

If you are over 16 and have not traded anywhere before you may be interested in our Traders Development Scheme. Send an email to info@maindee.org to register your interest.  We will then informally meet up to discuss your plans and see how we can help get your idea off the ground.  No previous experience or equipment needed.  You don’t need a “big idea”, just a willingness to work hard to run your stall. 

Almost all traders want to return the following year, so it is a good idea to book early.

Traders in arts, crafts, bric-a-brac, music/instruments, plants, fruit & veg and , ethnic goods report good business in the trading period. Our visitors come from culturally diverse communities. So the Festival is an excellent way for campaigns, advice and support groups to target minority groups.

Food traders must be registered with their Local Authority and compliant with all prevailing food hygene and safety requirements. If you are selling unwrapped food you must, as a minimum, have a supply of hot and cold water, soap and towels for handwashing and a sanitizer spray and clean cloths for food surfaces.

All traders must be adequately insured to cover yourself for any liability that might arise as a result of your trading activities.   

We want you to have a successful trading day at the festival and will be pleased to advise you, especially if you are a new trader or this is your first time at Maindee Festival.

We may be able to supply stalls, tables, chairs for an additional fee.
