Stand Details

Price

£350 weekend rate  

All outdoor open spaces are sited on hard standing and will be allocated by the organiser. No exhibit or display may extend outside the allocated and marked area.

Stand Allocation

Every effort will be made to accede to any particular requests you may have, but the final allocation rests with the Organisers.

Insurance

It is a condition of the event that all exhibitors must provide evidence of public liability insurance to a level of at least £5 million to indemnify the Organisers if required.   The organisers will require proof of such current insurance cover before arrival at the event site.  Please ensure that you carry adequate insurance cover, as no exhibitor will be admitted without proof of cover.

Electricity/Generators

Only silent generators will be permitted on site. Trailing leads should be avoided but where essential must be satisfactorily covered to ensure the safety of foot traffic. All electrical installations must be fully certificated and comply with the 16^th condition of IEE.

Food Safety

Food businesses must comply with the requirements of the Food Safety (General Food Hygiene) Regulations 1995.  Food businesses based in the United Kingdom must be registered under the Food Premises (Registration) Regulations 1991 and provide details of such registration on the enclosed form.

Vehicle Access/Parking

Vehicle entry passes will be issued prior to the Event.  On-site parking is prohibited, but, subject to availability, we hope to provide one vehicle-parking permit to each Exhibitor for an adjacent car park.

During the days of the Event all unloading must be completed and the vehicles removed from the site by 9.00am to the designated parking area or other appropriate parking place.  Vehicles will not be permitted to return to the exhibition area until after 10.00 pm Saturday and 6.00pm Sunday.

During set-up and breakdown days, Exhibitors will be allowed unrestricted access to the site for vehicles with passes.

Waste Disposal

All exhibitors are fully responsible for the cleanliness of their stand and for the disposal of all waste and litter from their stand.  Failure to remove all waste before, during, and after the event  will result in an additional charge for its clearance.

Eligibility of Exhibits/Exhibitions

The Exhibitor must inform the Organisers of all the products and services that will be on display (see booking form).

No reference whatsoever can be made to Margate’s Big Event or the Thanet District Council logo on any product or display without prior agreement of the Organisers.

All exhibition stands must be manned at all times during the public opening hours.
