Trader Information – Cornmill Mini Con

We are very happy that you are interested in trading with us at Cornmill Mini Con! This page contains information for trading.

Please apply for space using the form below.

Why do we have an application process?

We use an application process to ensure we can check the items being sold and also not to have too many of the same traders. Of course this can be difficult with something like 3D printed items where there can be a big variation in what can be created and sold and having just one 3D printed items trader does not make sense and is unfair. We apply a similar view to all traders.

If your application is successful you will be sent a purchase link. Please purchase your space as soon as possible. A successful application is not a guarantee of securing space. All space is sold on a first come, first served basis.

Keep an eye on our trader trackers to check availability.

Trader FAQ’s

As Cornmill is in a public shopping centre is there anything I should know?

Yes the centre has a very strict policy on keeping the areas around your stalls clean and tidy. Make sure excess stock is hidden under your table and not visible. We will be inspecting the areas regularly.  There are also strict times on setup and set down dues to public safety concerns. If in any doubt please ask us if you have any questions.

What can I sell?

You can sell anything from licensed merchandise to collectibles, crafted items, fan art, and clothing, however Cute Fox Events do not allow the sale of counterfeit items at our events. If any trader is found to be selling such items, they will be asked to leave the event. If you are selling NSFW items these should be kept out of sight. If you are in any doubt about what this means, please contact us at for more information.
