ViewFrequently Asked Questions
We can cover trading at a wide variety of events including:
- Markets
- Shows (not including air shows)
- Fairs
- Street parties
- Carnivals
- Farmers markets
- Festivals
- Car boot sales
- Events on licensed pitches (local authority licensed or where private landowner has given permission)
This is unlimited throughout the year, however you can only trade at one event or market at any one time. If you trade at more than one event or market at a time you will need a separate policy for each location. Should you have two stalls on the same market, for example, at the same time, then a separate policy would be required for each location/stall.
