How to make an application
Pre-approval is only required once for each season unless you start to sell different items or otherwise make a change to your business.
How to make payment (please see current market fees below)
Once you have supplied all relevant documents and received approval by the Town Council, we will contact you by phone to take payment by credit or debit card. We will also be able to accept a BACS payment, or cash (but only up to £250) if deposited at the Swanage Information Centre.
Licence
Once you have paid, you will be allocated a plot number, and a licence.
This licence should always be accessible, should you be requested to produce it by an Officer of the Town Council.
How will it work on the day?
You may arrive from 7.00 a.m. and trading may start at 8.00 a.m.
