Pricing & Payment

Stall Site Prices vary depending on the site size, the goods being sold, and extras you order from Newtown Festival – outlined below.

Stall Site prices:  Like everyone, Newtown Festival has been hit with ever rising costs. To try and help our stallholders thrive we have decided to keep the stall site costs as they have been since 2020, but to manage this we are no longer offering a discounted early bird rate. Also, for the first time in 26 years there is a slight increase in the concession price for community group information stalls.

Applying and paying early is still very important: Those of you who pay earliest are most likely to get your preferred stall site. Payment by instalments can be arranged if you need this. If the instalments are paid regularly then the date of the first payment will count for priority purposes.  Book early and email our stalls team if you need to arrange paying in instalments over the next 4 months.

Returning stallholders who want to have the same site as last year need to apply and pay as soon as possible, definitely before October 31st:   Every year we give regular returning stall holders priority for their previous site location, if they want this. Sometimes this is not possible when the stall site is in front of a local Newtown retailer who now wants to have a stall outside their premises. When this happens, we look for a site close by, to help your regular customers find you at the Festival.  For 2025 if you want to return to your last year’s site you need to let us know before the end of October. After October your preferred site will be allocated to a stallholder who has booked and paid early.

The ‘Newtown retailer’ rate is for people booking one 3m x 3m stall outside their shop for selling goods or services from their business. You can also choose this option if you want to keep a 3m space outside your shop clear of other stalls.

The ‘information stalls’ are for charities, sports clubs and community organisations who only give out information.

We offer discounts for people and groups running fundraising stalls for a good cause.  Make your stall booking for the size and type of stall you need online, explain in the notes section of your application what you would like to do, and the cause you are supporting. Also email the stalls team to introduce what you would like to do. We will be in touch to discuss how much we can help.

In a similar way we are also sympathetic to approaches from local artists and crafts people concerned about not being able to afford a stall.

If none of the sizes listed here work for you we can usually organise custom sizes and corresponding prices. There is a place on the application form to choose ‘other’ and describe what you want. However stalls can only be a maximum of 3m wide. Several years ago we retired the previous option for 6m x 5m wide stalls because the 5m width caused too much congestion in our narrow streets.

If you have a gazebo, caravan or food truck please make sure the size you request will fit your stall setup, including any tow bars or similar extras.
