ALL THE NEED TO KNOW INFORMATION

Before you apply...

Before you apply check out the Newquay Christmas Market trader page HERE where you will find information including what we look for, what we offer and who can apply - this does vary so it's an essential read. You'll also find our terms by opportunity which you need to agree to when you submit your application.

Application Routes

For 2024 all successful Market applicants will need to be a Directory member for 2024 (through to end of January '25). By including all successful Market applicants in the Directory we ensure synergy between our real life events and online presence. It will also limit the backend work needed to deliver the associated Online Markets so that we can continue to offer accessible stand prices at our events in the face of rising costs. This means that there are two application routes, one for non Directory members to apply to join the Directory and Markets, and another for current Directory members to apply to join our Markets. Please select the relevant application route from the buttons below to find out more and submit your application.
