Any traders wishing to sell alcohol must make this clear in the application process and ensure they have applied for the relevant licence (if applicable). Traders who apply direct to a local authority without the consent of RR Events Ltd will be asked to remove the relevant alcoholic products.For traders who are permitted to sell alcohol, then the onus remains solely on them, or their appointed representative, to ensure that they conform to licensing regulations that may be placed upon them.

Any additional security provision that would be required to enforce this would be the responsibility of the trader and at their own cost.

This includes buzzers, bells, sirens, microphones and live music. RR Events Ltd reserves the right to prohibit and/or remove any equipment or persons, which in their opinion is causing annoyance and or disturbance to another. This is to also include roaming promotional staff and distribution of promotional materials away from the traders own pitch. Where neighbouring traders cannot mutually agree on levels of such activities RR Events Ltd will act as arbiter, and in all instances their decision will be final. Failure to comply with any decision will leave the trader in question liable to be dismissed from the event without prejudice.

Traders MUST ensure that no damage is caused to any carriageways, footpaths, street furniture, hard standing or grass areas (including trees, shrubs and plants). Failure to do so will result in the trader being liable for the cost of reinstatement of repair, which may need to be completed by the local authority, or their appointed contractor.

In the event of all, or part, of the event being postponed or cancelled due to circumstances beyond the control of RR Events, then RR Events Ltd shall not be liable in any way in respect of expenditure, damage or loss incurred by traders. This will also apply in instances where the closure/cancellation is due to the failure or curtailment of any supplies, service or facilities offered to traders. If RR Events cancels/closes the event for whatever reason, traders are legally bound to accept any offer (if one is made) that RR Events makes as complete settlement and discharge, and will not claim against RR Events for any costs of expense incurred.

RR Events Ltd reserves the right to remove any individuals connected to any stall/business, whose presence at the event is deemed to be prejudicial to the “Best Interest” of the event, or who they feel could bring disrepute to the event or organiser.Traders may appeal this decision in writing within 14 days of the decision, but must comply with all RR Events Ltd requests to leave the site while there.
