St Albans Market Stall Booking Information

Friday 25th to Sunday 27th April, 2025 -

PLEASE NOTE - the main Festival site has been moved to the Tennis Court Block in Bulga Street to be closer to all the other venues, the Settlers Pub and the main camping area.

The St Albans Folk Festival will be held at St Albans NSW, (near Wiseman's Ferry) as per the date above. The festival will provide entertainment, workshops, market stalls and a variety of activities for patrons who stay for the weekend or arrive on a day trip.

Stall Applications will remain open until all positions are filled or up to the Monday prior to the festival. Because the festival Main Venue has constrained space, stall sites are marked on the ground and spaces are sold through the application process by vendors requesting a particular area from the map below.

Payment in advance is required to secure your site but please do not make payment until your application has been approved. Applications accepted will need to be paid for by 15 March 2024 or organisers reserve the right to re-allocate the position. Refunds for non-attendance will be made at the organisers discretion and will depend on the circumstances, timeframe and whether the site was able to be re-allocated.

Fees for stalls vary by type and size. The following table should be viewed in conjunction with the site map below.

The 2025 festival will be 3 days long.

Stalls are required to be erected on the Thursday or Friday morning (prior to 12pm.)

Pack down is on Sunday late afternoon from 4pm.

Stall Types

Food General 6 x 3 meters - $290

Regular Stall 3 x 3 meters - $180

Large Stall 6 x 3 meters $250

• Plus additional $100 Green Bond to be paid with fee - Refundable when you take your waste with you at the end of the festival.

(The central units may be combined to provide a larger site with a 6m frontage, other applications permitting).

Fee includes entry to all events at the festival for 2 persons. Extra tickets can be organised before the festival at early bird prices.

Food Stall applications will be selected to give the patrons variety and avoid over-supply.

Please note that stalls need to be of the type that would be appropriate for a family folk festival. Sale of toy guns, commercial show bags, knives, swords, bows or environmentally damaging items will not be allowed.

Stall holders will be required to provide their own tables, chairs, shelter etc. but the festival will provide some tables and chairs as a generic area for eating.

Generally speaking, there is insufficient space for stallholders' vehicles which should be parked on the grass verge adjacent to the venue. Stallholders may camp within their stalls or stall space as long as they do not take more than the designated space. (We will have dedicated camping for stallholders on the block directly next to the festival)

Electricity supply is limited to 10 amps per stall for lighting only unless specific arrangements are made with the organisers. Please keep in mind that 27 stalls share a single phase, split from a 3 phase pole and excessive use will trip all stalls!

In line with other festivals in NSW St Albans Folk Festival is working towards zero waste.

We are encouraging campers to take home their rubbish by providing them with bags.

We require that Stall holders take away their rubbish as well, including packaging and other waste products arising from normal business.

For example, organic rubbish, which could be donated to people with chickens, or just take away and dispose of in their green waste bins. We would like this to be a waste free event and to compost as many food and packaging items as possible. Therefore we request that all food and drink service ware provided by food stall owners be biodegradable and compostable. Biodegradable and compostable foodservice ware and drink ware products are quite specific. A number of suppliers and brands claim to be biodegradable/compostable but are definitely not. To guarantee that these products are genuine, we request two samples of all intended packaging be submitted after acceptance of the applications, including the name of the supplier or manufacturer. Products will be checked by the waste management team to verify their authenticity before being offered a site, contact Tao - kaboodle60@gmail.com

St Albans requires a green bond of $100, which must be paid with the stall fee. This bond will be refunded if the stalls rubbish has been removed. Any questions about rubbish should be address to Tao from the Waste Recycling Team. kaboodle60@gmail.com 

Stall holders are advised to bring their own water for cooking and washing etc. Tank water is available if necessary but stall holders must boil any water they use prior to washing food.

Stall holders are not to park out the front of the festival venue taking up parking spaces. Those that have in the past been able to include their vehicle at their site can continue to do so but all others must park in one of the camping grounds. 

No Generator type Cool Room is to be brought onto the site without previous discussion and agreement with the Festival Director -
