About the opportunity for good sales

How many visitors come to the show?
What do shoppers buy?
How many other traders will be selling what I am selling?

Over the past 5 years, Winter Wonderland has averaged between 2000 and 3000 visitors over the 2 days of the show - and that means lots of customers for your goods.

When you enquire about a table, ask Liz about the number of tables in your trading category and remember, traders selling similar goods are distributed around the floor to enable them to promote their goods effectively.

About booking a table

Can I book for just one day?
Do I request a specific position on the floor, such as a wall table?

Table bookings are for both days. Our show is open to visitors from 9.30 to 4.00 Saturday and 9.30 to 3.30 Sunday.

We allocate table positions based on your preference request and the options remaining at the time you book.

Many traders return to the same table position each year. Applying early will give you the most choice.

About your table

How big are the tables?
Is power available at the table?
What fittings or displays should I consider bringing?

The tables are 6ft by 2ft. Displays and fittings must fit on the table - they cannot protrude over the table's edges.

Please discuss high displays or stands with Liz.

Power is available for the tables using extensions leads from the wall.

Traders need to bring their own extension leads plus also electricians tape to tape down the lead.

All electrical equipment at the table must be tagged and tested after 16 Jan 2011.

About setting up and packing away

How do I set up? Pack away?
Is there anyone to help? Any trolleys?

Traders can set up from 3.00pm Friday and from 6am Saturday.

Unload & setup

There is no need to nominate a set-up time.

You must nominate an unload time if you are unloading your goods from your car in parking areas reserved for Winter Wonderland. More information about unload options closer to the Show.

Re-loading

Bump out is on Sunday after trading has ceased. No traders are to bump out prior to 3:30pm.

Trolleys and assistance

If you require assistance with un-packing tell Liz and one of the family will assist when possible. We employ extra staff to assist with pack up.

We have some trolleys available but always recommend that you bring your own if you have one.
