Activated Premium Stalls
In exciting news, we’re introducing a 4x4m Activated premium stall. This is a unique opportunity for you to pitch an idea to activate your stall with an added feature. For example, think along the lines of a chai tent, nail bar, or a place to customise products. Sound fun?
Places are extremely limited and successful applicants will receive dedicated promotional support as part of their activation at events. Pitch your ideas!
Introducing Debut Fashion
After a rising demand in this category, fashion will take on an exclusive debut section from 2019. At events, the debut fashion section will take up new sizes of 2.5 wide by 2m deep and will feature dedicated change-rooms in the center. Much like our existing debut section, this is for first-time applicants only. We will continue to offer existing debut set-up to help support new and emerging designers across additional lifestyle and beauty products.

For Foodies…
Food stallholders can also expect a few new questions. These are mainly regarding acquiring additional important details about your stall. It’s important that you provide us with your Public Liability Insurance and your Food Stall Permit, so please ensure that you have these documents ready when you’re applying!

Social Compliance
We’re committed to working with businesses that promote ethical and sustainable practices in all aspects, from design to product development, to packaging and product lifecycle. You’ll notice new questions about social compliance on the application which delve a little deeper into these aspects of your business.
Social compliance incorporates how a business treats its employees, the natural environment and their perspective on social responsibility. Social compliance promotes transparency in business, ensuring businesses are accountable for the various stages of their product development.
