Our pitch fees for 2023 are £65 for a 3m x 3m stall and £125 for a 6m x 3m stall. We do not charge VAT.

Pitch locations are allocated before the market and whilst we try to accommodate requests, we cannot guarantee a fixed location and sometimes we do need to move traders’ locations between markets.

Pitch fees must be paid by bank transfer 10 working days before market day in order to secure your pitch otherwise it will be offered to other traders on our waiting list.

As well as paying your fees, we’ll sign a contract with you. Please read it carefully as well as the appendices.

We also need to be provided with your public liability insurance details showing cover of at least £2m. There are many brokers who offer this insurance including Graham Sykes Graham Sykes.

You need to bring your own stand and stall equipment which must have a professional appearance. We don’t provide any equipment or tables.
If you are using a gazebo, it needs to be sturdy and suitable for a market. Garden gazebos are not acceptable.

It is essential to bring good quality gazebo weights which will secure the gazebo from gusts of wind. If you do not have the right equipment, we will ask you to leave the market before we open. Even if the weather forecast is good, you must bring weights.

We encourage all traders to take credit or debit cards rather than cash so please bring a credit card terminal / point of sale.

We can provide an electricity supply to some pitches for lighting – particularly in the winter months. Please contact us well in advance of the market to arrange this.

Please bring rubbish bags to remove all your rubbish as we do not offer rubbish disposal or recycling facilities. A broom to sweep up after you is also useful.

You should also bring paper or biodegradable bags for your customers. You can also sell some Chiswick Flower Market jute bags from your pitch if you would like to.

And be prepared for all weathers! We operate come rain or shine unless the weather is really extreme.

The flower market has around 35 – 40 pitches. There is a waiting list and some traders are asked to rotate so that as many people as possible get a chance to attend the market. Priority is given to local businesses, those with high sustainability criteria, and those who bring something different to the market.

All stallholders need to meet a minimum standard of appearance – and we are happy to help novice traders with making sure their stall looks good and that they have good sales! Being engaged with our visitors – with a big friendly smile – really helps.

Please arrive between 7am and 8am. We shall email you details of the location of your pitch normally the day before the market. When you arrive, please go straight to your pitch and unload, and then park your vehicle before setting up your stall.

Your stall needs to be ready to trade from when we open and you need to stay open and trading until the market closes.

We’ll confirm to you where you can park any vehicles.

When the market closes, we ask you to take down your stall and then collect your vehicle to load up and leave. Please park your vehicle in a place that lets other traders pass – it will have been a long day and people will want to get home!

You must leave your pitch clean and without rubbish otherwise we will charge you £50 for cleaning. This includes making sure there is no plant foliage left.

The market is open from 9.00am to 4.00pm during the summer months and from 9.00am to 3.30pm in winter.
