The floor plan is subject to change on the day. Stallholders cannot request specific locations – we rotate the floor plan in the interest of fairness to everyone. Please do not take a table if you haven’t already paid for one.
If you haven’t hired a table and are bringing your own you will find a gap – speak to the event manager if you have any questions or problems.
