Charity and organisation stalls
Coventry City Council would like to encourage the active role of charity, community groups and organisations at the festival. A single gazebo (3m x 3m) with two chairs in the Family Field will be allocated for each charity or organisation.
All stalls must attend for Saturday and Sunday trading 12noon – 7pm. No single day trading is permissible and stall holders must stay for the duration of this time.
Within the Family Field we intend to have several “zones” with particular themes based around “Play” Zones focussing on the Sea, Coats and Rivers, the Countryside, The City and being active. Our aim is to locate relevant stalls in the relevant spaces.
We encourage stall holders to provide activities as well as promoting their charity.
Although the Council respects the variety of religious and political beliefs held, space will not be issued to any individual or groups who wish to use the festival to promote a particular political view/interpretation or religion or religious affiliation.
The stalls are offered as 3m x 3m gazebos, however larger spaces can be discussed, power could be available at costs. Stallholders may use their own gazebo however, there is no discount on the stall fees below. And any self-provided gazebo will be checked for sufficient ground anchors/tent pegs to be safe. The festival is not responsible for the safety and security of an external gazebo.
