It must be safe and secure and not create a risk of danger to the public or other Stallholders. Stall holders are liable for any damage caused by items or equipment from their stall. Please consider how you will safely secure your stall equipment and products. This will require weighting of some form to secure gazebos.
The Expo will aim to run in all weather conditions, however, the Resilience Expo Committee reserves the right to make a final decision in exceptional circumstances and will aim to notify you as early as possible.
