Stall Locations street by street – Trading Hours and Precincts

PRECINCTS – If you sell takeaway food look for a site in a food precinct, or perhaps in Arney St if you are connected with the Polish community. Green St is a good place for craft stalls, and some information stalls, and other streets are quite mixed.

MAIN STREETS – Constable St is where stallholders enter the site in the morning and exit in the evening. Riddiford and Rintoul Streets are morning exits and evening entrances for stallholders’ vehicles.

Riddiford St – stalls stop trading at 5pm.  These sites are in high demand. Only local retailers, returning applicants and the earliest of new applicants are likely to get a Riddiford St spot. We dont have takeaway food stalls in Riddiford apart from local businesses and we dont supply power. There are stages at each end of the street and at the intersection with Constable St : the Tangata Whenua Stage in the north, Community stage in the middle and South Stage by the Rhodes St/Russell Tce roundabout.

Constable St – stalls stop trading at 5pm.  This street has a food stall precinct on the north side between Riddiford St and Newtown Library and another on both sides of the street near the intersection with Daniell St. The rest of the street is a mix of stalls including some local businesses. There is a stage at the Daniell St end.

Stalls in Rintoul St stop trading at 5pm.  This street has a food stall precinct on the South side and a mix of stalls on the north side, including some selling pre-packaged foodstuffs such as honey, spices or sauces.

Stall Site Allocation

Our stalls team looks in detail at what you tell us you are selling or are providing information on. They care about how our Festival works for everyone on the day and try very hard to find a good spot for every stall. However some sites are in high demand and the sooner you pay for your stall the more likely you are to get the place you want.

Local businesses have first priority (outside their premises) as do repeat returning stall holders who book and pay promptly.

When you book use “Preferred Locations, Site Requirements & Comments” to tell us which street or precinct you would like and explain why your preference is important, tell us everything we might need to know about your set up and also give us other location options – second and third choices, in case your selected spot isn’t available.

Stall bookings will CLOSE on the 1st February 2023 !
