How do I apply?

If you would like to be considered for a stall at a future market please fill in an online application form by the stated deadline on the ‘apply’ page. You must provide either website links to your work or you can e-mail images separately to cluttercity@norwichartscentre.co.uk

Take a look at our ‘Vendors’ page to get an idea of the kind of arts / crafts featured at Clutter City.

All applications will be collated after the deadline and stalls will be selected on how well they fit into the overall feel and atmosphere of Clutter City and to ensure a wide range of goods are on offer.  You will receive an e-mail letting you know either way within the week of the deadline.

If your application is successful you will be sent an info pack with stall layouts and payment details. You will also be added to our vendors list to receive updates on future market dates and application deadlines.

How much does it cost? How do I send in payment?

The cost of a stall is a bargain at just £10 for the day (9am set-up – 5pm get out). We also ask for a donated item/items worth between £2 – £5 for our charity lucky dip.  All the proceeds go to a chosen local charity (suggestions welcome).  Please wrap your item/s and bring on the day. Don’t forget to add your business card if you have one.

Once your application has been confirmed payment can be made through Norwich Arts Centre on 01603 660352 or in person. We can accept delta, solo, mastercard, visa (30p surcharge), cheque or cash.

Payments must be made in advance of the market date.  If payment is not received by the payment deadline then your space may be offered to another vendor.

What if I need to cancel my booking?

If you need to cancel your booking please let us know as soon as possible so we can look to fill your space. If payment has been made and the cancellation is within two weeks of the market date we will only be able to offer a refund if we can find a replacement stall holder.

Can I have 2 stall spaces for myself?

If one space is not enough we can allocate you two spaces (subject to availability) but the cost will double to £20. Please request this with your application.

Can I share a table/space?

Yes but we’d prefer it if you found a partner yourself. If you can’t find someone to share, then send us an email and we’ll see if we can partner you up with another seller.

My stall and layout?

**Please be aware that you will need to supply your own table (approx size 120cm X 75cm) but we can supply chairs.**

Space can also be quite tight so there may be slight adjustments on the day.

There are just over 30 stalls in total and they are situated in the foyer of the arts centre and auditorium plus auditorium stage.  In summer spaces are also available outside on the front lawn (cover must be provided by vendor). Please specify either outdoor or indoor with your application.  Your stall layout is chosen at random, therefore vendors cannot request a specific position.  If you would like to be near a friend please let us know and we will always try and place you together. It’s nice to have a friendly neighbour (especially when you want to pop to the bar)! If you become a regular vendor, we do rotate stall layouts to ensure everyone has a chance to try a new position.

Your stall is an opportunity for you to promote your goods. We recommend bringing your own cover or tablecloth and if you think you may need an electrical point please let us know so we can try and allocate you a suitable space. You may need to provide your own extension lead. Please note that if you want to use fairy lights they must be powered through a transformer box.

The NAC auditorium is a music venue by night so has quite low lighting levels during the day. We light the hall with floodlights, coloured stage lights and patterned gels so please think about your own lighting and bring a lamp if necessary. Feel free to drop by the arts centre and check out the space before you apply.

How is Clutter City promoted?

This is a DIY-style show which means that we need you to help get the word out! Our marketing budget is very small so we rely on vendors and friends to help spread the word.  Vendors will receive Clutter City e-flyers with their info pack and we would be grateful if you can feature them on your blog/website/social networking profiles wherever possible. If you are able to print paper flyers then please do and hand them out to all your friends and family.  The more we can all advertise, the busier it will be!

We advertise the market on the Clutter City website, Norwich Arts Centre website, Facebook, Myspace and various on-line art / craft forums as well as posters and leaflets around the city.  Confirmed vendors with website links will also be added to the Clutter City ‘Vendors’ page.

We have a mailing list if you would like to keep up to date with all our future markets and events.  Join the mailing list here
