Want to become a stall holder?
Our Farmers' Markets aim to support farmers and producers who are local to Chichester District Council. Our markets are very popular and for most of our markets we currently have a waiting list of stall holders who are wanting a pitch.
We give priority to traders who are based within Chichester District, who are primary producers i.e. a farmer or grower who has grown or raised what they are selling and traders selling produce which is not sold by current stall holders.
The pitch fee (from 1st April 2009) is £42 for Chichester Farmers' Markets and £29 for Petworth and Midhurst Farmers' Markets. For this you will get a canopy (size 3m by 2m). If you require electricity this is charged at £5 per market per day.
Terms and Conditions
If you wish to trade at our farmers' markets there are a number of conditions which you have to meet. Please read our Farmers' Market Traders Terms and Conditions document in the "Related Documents" box to the right of the screen.
Selling Alcohol
If you are a trader selling alcohol you must comply with the Licensing Act. Please read our Alcohol Licensing Requirements document for further information.
