Other Information

Please note that on booking you are booking the table area only, not the space to the side or behind your table. Although we will try to accommodate your set-up needs and location within the event, this isn’t always possible. Please consider this when booking. We allow entry for 2 members of staff at the event for every table booked (backing tables excluded) - additional staff are charged event entry price.

A backing table (where available) is a table that sits behind your main table that effectively doubles your selling space. Only one backing table may be booked for each trader table you book.

If you do decide to book you agree to abide by all of the conditions set out in this Trader Pitch Rental Information, failure to abide by this may jeopardise future bookings with Unleashed Events. If you have any issues regarding your booking, please contact us via email. Any trader opening a PayPal case against Unleashed Events will result in an immediate ban from booking pitches at Unleashed Events.
