Working with your venue

The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- A safe distance from other traders
- Event approval for hot-food traders
- A vehicle route onto the pitch
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.

Late-May events in Friar's Hill have light until about 8:45pm, and midsummer ones until about 9:15pm. Evening festivals need lighting by the stall after that.
