We welcome applications from professional street food traders, coffee vans, dessert concepts, grab-and-go operators and specialist catering units. We are particularly interested in traders offering unique food concepts that complement a diverse event catering line-up.
Do you guarantee pitches if I apply?
Submitting an application does not guarantee a pitch. Traders are selected based on the event type, audience profile, catering mix and available space to ensure the best balance of food offerings.
What information will I need to provide when applying?
Typically we will ask for:
• Business name and contact details
• Description of your food concept
• Sample menu and price range
• Photos of your catering unit
• Food hygiene rating
• Public liability insurance
• Power and pitch requirements
• Previous event experience
What level of food hygiene rating is required?
We generally expect traders to hold a minimum Food Hygiene Rating of 4 or 5, although this may vary depending on the event and local authority requirements.
Do you provide power and water at events?
Event infrastructure varies depending on the venue. Some events provide power and water connections, while others require traders to be fully self-sufficient. Full setup details are always provided in advance of the event.
What type of units do you accept?
We work with a wide range of catering setups including:
• Street food trailers

How are traders selected for events?
Our concessions team carefully selects traders to ensure a balanced mix of cuisines, service speeds and price points. We aim to avoid duplication of food concepts wherever possible.
Do you charge a pitch fee or commission?
Trading terms vary depending on the event and may include pitch fees, revenue share or a combination of both. Full details are provided during the event confirmation process.
Can new traders apply even if they have limited festival experience?
Yes. While experience is helpful, we are always interested in hearing from new traders with strong food concepts, professional setups and a reliable approach to event trading.
Will I be able to trade at multiple events?
Many of our traders work with us across multiple festivals, shows and events throughout the year. Building long-term working relationships with reliable traders is important to us.
How far in advance are traders confirmed?
Trader confirmation varies depending on the event, but we aim to confirm selected traders several weeks or months in advance where possible.
