Apply Now - Showground Markets

---

PLEASE READ BEFORE APPLYING

All applications are to be received via our form on this website. Once application is received, we will respond within 3 business days.

 If successful, you will be issued an invoice which is to be paid by the due date listed on the invoice. Our invoicing system does let us know when invoices have been opened.

 If your invoice remains unpaid by the due date, we reserve the right to cancel and offer your spot to the next person on our waiting list. We are under no obligation to chase prospective vendors for payment or remind them of overdue invoices. 

Please Note that no one is a confirmed vendor until payment is received and your spot will not be held.

BWP Markets has a very active social media presence and all vendors for each market are advertised across various platforms including Facebook, Instagram, Tik Tok and events pages. It is our guarantee that you will be advertised on at least one of these platforms at the very least one time for each market. The earlier that you apply and pay, the more advertising you will receive from us. We do not advertise any vendor that has not paid their invoice. We have an expectation that all vendors will advertise their presence at each market they are approved for. This benefits you as a vendor as your customers know where they can find you.

All Bump In/Out procedures are posted in our private Facebook group, please ensure that you join this group from the link given in your approval email. 

Bump in is anytime between 6am and 7.30am.

Vendors are permitted to drive their vehicle (one car per vendor) into the market section, unload all setup and then exit the market section to park their vehicle in the parking provided on the oval just meters from the market setup. Cars do not need to be removed until 7.30am.

Fence line vendors are permitted to leave their vehicles behind their stalls.

 NO VEHICLES ARE TO BE UTILISED WITHIN THE MARKET AREA DURING TRADING HOURS - ANY VENDOR BREAKING THIS RULE WILL NOT BE ALLOWED BACK TO FUTURE MARKETS. 

You must follow all staff instructions in regard to vehicles on the grounds and drive at 5kmph with hazards on.  Parking is provided free of charge on the oval of the Showgrounds.

NO EARLY PACK UPS PERMITTED UNLESS INSTRUCTED BY STAFF. 

In the case that the market is forced to postpone due to inclement weather, all vendors will receive a credit toward the next market. We do not offer refunds. It is a requirement that all vendors have appropriate weights and be prepared for winds. It is also an expectation that due to our beautiful QLD weather, all vendors make appropriate arrangements for heat.

It is an expectation of all stall holders that they present their stall in an aesthetically pleasing way. No handwritten signs. All displays and signage are to be kept within your designated area and are not to infringe on other stall holders areas. A Frane signage is welcome.

You are only permitted to sell items that you were approved for in your application. BWP Markets assumes that all products for sale meet Australian Standards. All Food Vendors are to have valid food licences and food safety certificates.

BWP Markets does not offer refunds. It is therefore imperative that you are committed to attending our market dates once approved. If for any reason that you are unable to attend the following notice is applicable:

14 days or more - credit for next market 

7 - 14 days - credit for next market only given if your spot is able to be filled

Less than 7 days: Market Fee Forfeited

It is an expectation of all stallholders that they behave in a good manner towards staff and other vendors. If anyone displays abusive or aggressive behavior, does not obey market rules or causes a general disruption, the vendor will be asked to leave the markets with no compensation and you will be banned from all future markets run by BWP Markets.

If power is required, then all leads must be tagged and tested by a qualified electrician. All leads must be fully covered to avoid trip hazards. 

ONE LEAD PER VENDOR NO LONGER THAN 25M. 

Please also ensure that your appliances match the power level. BWP Markets is not responsible for any power outages caused by overuse of appliances and/or faulty, untagged equipment. Three phase, 10 amp and 15 amp are all available at the site.

BWP Markets DOES NOT offer any vendor exclusivity of their category. We do have caps which are dependent on how many stalls per market. We are very fair and strive for variety.

 You must be aware that there is a possibility someone may sell similar products, It is our policy that anyone with similar products will be placed well away from each other.   

Food Vendors are limited to one of each cuisine however there may be other vendors that sell an item from your menu such as fries etc.
