Planning the van’s spot
No two venues are the same, so we’ll ask about yours before we confirm. In general, we need:
- A hard-standing or firm grass pitch
- Confirmation the van can trade there
- A queue area clear of rides and games
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

Can you trade at our fête or festival?
Send us the event details, dates and pitch information and we will let you know if we are available.

It depends on the event: pitch fee, percentage or minimum. We will agree terms before the day.

Do you have a kids’ option?
Of course. Children generally love sausage and chips. Include children in your numbers.
