Before submitting your application, please carefully review this section & our trading terms & conditions, which can be found in the footer of our website.

These sections provide essential details about our process and will likely answer most of your questions. Don’t forget to explore our Options & Fees for further information, as well as our helpful Resources to guide you through the application process.

Key Details Before Applying:

• ABN Requirement: You will need an Australian Business Number (ABN) to apply.

• Public Liability Insurance: All stallholders must have public liability insurance with a minimum of $10 million coverage. If you don’t have this ready, please let us know. A Certificate of Currency will be required upon acceptance.

• Equipment: We do not provide furniture. Check the "What do I need to bring" section for more information.

• Trading Agreement: Acceptance to trade is a trading agreement for your approved market date and does not constitute a lease. Market management reserves the right to selectively approve applications to ensure our markets align with the high expectations we’ve built since launching in 2022, Newcastle, NSW.

• Creative, original, and handmade products that fit our market’s vision.

• Professional presentation, including high-quality images for marketing.

• Consistency in your brand and work, telling a cohesive story.

• Commitment to ethical, sustainable practices and innovative methods.

• Unique products that avoid saturated trends and meet shopper expectations.

• The Nash & Dash Markets do accept commercial site applications for local businesses that do not sell handmade or local products, but we will review this in alignment to our market planning.

Nash & Dash Markets does not provide equipment for traders, so we encourage you to get creative with your setup and think outside the box!

Each trader is required to have a 3m x 3m marquee (larger sizes must be pre-approved by market management).

No Vehicles are allowed into the market trading area, a loading zone is created at each event.

To enhance your market trading experience, consider bringing the following:

• A trolley or cart to easily transport your equipment from the car to your stall, especially as some locations may not allow vehicle access.

• A Square or rechargeable payment system—while cash is still important, 90% of transactions globally are now cashless.

• Lighting, even during sunny days, can make your products stand out. Remember, stalls do not have power access (except for food vendors).

At Nash & Dash Markets, we strive to showcase as many of our talented vendors as possible across our social media platforms. However, due to the large number of vendors we partner with, we cannot guarantee that everyone will be featured. While we make every effort to highlight your work, sometimes it may not be feasible to include all vendors in our posts.

We collaborate with key media platforms like HunterHunter and Newcastle Week to promote our markets. Please note that these are paid platforms with strict photography guidelines and styles that we must adhere to, which can limit the number of vendors selected for features.

If you are chosen to be featured, we will notify you directly. To increase your chances of being highlighted, consider the following:

• Submit High-Quality Images: Provide us with high-quality photos of your products that do not contain any logos or text.

• Engage with Us on Social Media: Regularly tag us in your social media posts so we can share and engage with your content.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation as we work to promote our vibrant community of makers!

Congratulations on your acceptance to trade at Nash & Dash Markets!

Here’s what to expect next:

• Payment Terms: Full payment is a minmum required 7 days prior to the market date. Please ensure you adhere to this timeline to secure your spot.

• Contract and Invoice: A contract and invoice will be sent to you via our electronic signature software. This document will outline the terms of your agreement and require your signature.

We understand that this process can feel overwhelming, especially for small business owners. If you have any questions or concerns at any stage, don’t hesitate to reach out to our team for support. We’re here to help you succeed!
