WHAT COMES WITH A STALL?
A Harborne Market stall is a good quality traditional 10’ by 10’ stall, as well as 10′ by 4′ counter board and overhead canopy. The stalls include a white back sheet (on days with high winds these may need to be left off for safety reasons).
Traders must bring their own table coverings. Unfortunately the market can not provide a power source for traders at this time.
You can see images of our stalls in action on our Facebook and Instagram pages.
