Additional Costs
* The allocated vehicle passes are for vehicles that you require to help set up, de-rig and/or replenish your pitch. No vehicles are allowed to stay on the show site, without written authority from the show management. All other staff vehicles will be allocated a general parking pass. Please advise on your application. If you need to have a vehicle or trailer as storage, permanently parked behind your pitch then there will be an additional fee of £50.00 per vehicle/trailer, for the whole event. If a vehicle or trailer is longer than the actual stall this will increase the pitch rate. No HGV's to be parked behind each pitch without prior written agreement. This vehicle or trailer will not be allowed to move from the pitch until the whole event has concluded.
** Additional Staff Passes are charged at £30.00 per pass – Passes are not allowed to be transferred or distributed to different staff or given to any non staff member.
Eg: a 3m pitch has 2 staff passes included. If you are having 10 staff to cover the whole event, then you will need to purchase a further 8 passes.
Any lost staff passes will incur a charge of £30.00 per pass. If a pass is broken, we will happily replace it free of charge providing the broken pass is handed in to the Trade Manager for exchange.
