All stalls must comply with the following terms and conditions:
• We encourage local, handmade, sustainably produced and healthy goods. We do not support unethical goods (such as most manufactured, plastic, imported goods; or unhealthy foods).
• Waste management is a shared responsibility. We ask you to abide by the following to make it easy for you and us. At Aro Valley fair we support sustainable waste management. As a stall holder it is your responsibility to take away all your waste. Please recycle everything that is possible to recycle. We will have recycling facilities available at the fair. We will accept clean and recyclable glass, aluminum and plastic containers.
• Parking is available in Epuni St, Essex St, Devon St, Ohiro Rd, Palmer St, Abel Smith St and Te Aro School. Please do not park on Aro St.
• If you need to unload your stall goods from your car, access to the site is from 6.30 – 7.00am. All vehicles will be asked to leave after this time. No vehicles are allowed on site to unload after 7.00am. Otherwise set-up of craft/market stalls is from 7.00am-9.00am, please do not be late. If you arrive after 7.00am there is an un-loading area on Aro Street which you will be directed to use.
• All food trucks must be on-site by 7.00am so we can position you.
• At the end of the fair, vehicles will not be allowed back on site until most of the attending public have left. The event managers will decide when this is. You will be unable to pack up prior to this decision. All cars entering and exiting may be required to be escorted by staff.
• No vehicles are to block any access way, wait on roads, or otherwise cause traffic hazard.
