Parking
We currently have an arrangement with Sainsbury’s that will allow you to park in their overflow car park adjacent to Homebase for free. Please note that we need your registration number no later than Wednesday. After unloading your vehicle in the loading-bay it must be taken to the overflow car park and remain there until the end of your trading (drive back out of the main car park over the bridge and turn right at the roundabout, park in first section). If your vehicle remains in any other part of the car park the free parking privilege will be immediately removed. This parking privilege is only applicable on the days that you trade.
Insurance
All traders must carry public and product liability insurance up to £5 million. If you are selling food you will also need your Food Hygiene Certificate and safety certificates for any cooking equipment you will be using.
Please complete and submit the below form, reading the terms and conditions. Please also send copies of your insurance and necessary certificates to info@bathbid.co.uk.

They must ensure that equipment used meets Health & Safety requirements. Traders must not cause or permit any obstruction to walkways (which must be maintained to a width of not less than 2.5 metres), entrances or fire exits.

Bath BID reserves the right to share trader contact address information in the case of a product complaint.

Electrical Supply. Traders must not misuse any electricity supply which is provided for lighting and approved equipment only. All equipment must have undergone a market PAT test, with a valid PAT certificate.
Goods. All Goods approved for sale at the market are at the full discretion of the Wellbeing Day management team. We welcome applications from all traders. Queries on any decisions should be made in writing.
Stall presentation & use. Traders must keep their pitches tidy at all times, with all empty boxes and containers stored out of sight. At the close of the day’s trading, traders must clean their pitch area and must not allow their refuse to litter the market. Pitches are to be used for quiet selling. Where traders wish to use trading positions for demonstrating, pitching, or other means of attracting a crowd, then approval must be gained from the Wellbeing Day Manager.
Market Layout. The location of traders within the market is at the discretion of the Wellbeing Day Team. Traders who wish to change their pitch position must refer to the Wellbeing Day Manager who has the ultimate authority to decide either way.
Trading Hours. Traders must occupy their pitch by 9.00 am and, except in the event of an emergency only, where notice is given to the Manager prior to 9.00 am any unoccupied pitch(es) will be let to any person(s) waiting for space after 9.00 am. Traders must keep their pitch(es) stocked throughout the trading day and must not vacate the pitch(es) before 2.00 pm except at the discretion of the Manager.

Vehicles may be brought into the parking area in the train shed for loading/unloading purposes only, and for periods of no longer than 15 minutes, except with the express permission of the Manager.

Unloading and Setting Up. Traders must take care during unloading and setting up, and when packing away, not to cause an obstruction or hazard; nor should they generate any excessive or unnecessary noise.

Children. Children under the age of 14 years are not permitted to remain at the stall during market trading hours.
Animals. No trader shall keep any animal at their pitch unless at the discretion of the Manager.
Behaviour. Traders and/or their employees must conduct themselves in an orderly manner and must not use obscene language. Abusive or anti-social behaviour whilst on site, by Traders or by anyone associated with that person, will result in instant dismissal from the market. Goods of an offensive or obscene nature (as determined by the Manager) must not be displayed.
Smoking. As the site has 3 walls and a roof, under government regulations it is considered a Smoke Free Zone. It is therefore our policy that there will be no smoking at any of the stalls in the station. Any trader found smoking at their stall will be dismissed from the market. Anyone who does not comply with the Smokefree regulations (i.e smokes within a Smokefree area) is committing a criminal offence. This means that if you are found to be smoking on any part of the Station or car park, you could also be fined a fixed penalty notice of £50 for each breach by the Council. If you wish to smoke you must go out of the site either via the foyer, by the Sainsbury’s cashpoints, once you have left the area covered by the roof or right into the Sainsbury’s car park. Smoking will not be tolerated on site.
Disputes. In the event of a dispute the Wellbeing Day Manager’s decision is final. If you wish to make a formal complaint, please contact Bath BID at info@bathbid.co.uk.
