Stand in Smallholder Market

We welcome smallholder businesses to take a stand in the Smallholder Market. This will be in the main area of the Highland Hall. Space is limited for 2024 and will be allocated based on date of booking.

The smallholder market will feature market stalls with a large sales area. These will be stalls that you will typically see in farmers markets. Each stand costs £65 plus VAT.

The Smallholder Market is for smallholders and small rural businesses selling their own produce to the general public. For food and drink, you must have a hygiene approval from your local council.

We want to feature small rural businesses selling the following products:

• Meat or meat products, drinks, baked goods, preserves, dairy, eggs, and “fifth quarter” products such as fleeces, wool, skins, felt horns.

Please note that all stands will need to be approved by the organising team before the show – we would request that if your products are not related to smallholding or rural life contact us before placing an order.

If you require a different solution please contact Martin Beard on commercial@festival.scot or 07917 105540.
