Trader Information

We are very happy that you are interested in trading with us! This page contains information for trading at our events.
Please apply for space using the relevant form(s) 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 please go ahead and 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

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.
When can I set up?
For Cliffecon you can set up on Saturday from 8.30am until 10.45am. For Cornmill it is 08:00am until 09:45am
Can I use my own table?
Yes you can use your own table(s). The cost from 2026 is £35 per 6ft front table and £15 per 6ft backing table . If in doubt please contact us.
Can I bring backing boards or other display furniture?
Please check with us before you bring your own display furniture.
What happens if I cannot make the event after I have booked?
All bookings are final after payment and unfortunately no refunds are possible. However you may be able to transfer your booking to another exhibitor. Please contact us to discuss.
Does my booking include parking?
Cliffecon – Yes it includes free parking at the venue. Hopetown – parking is £4 per day at Skerne Bridge Car Park. Cornmill – £5 all day in Cornmill Car Park.
I represent a charity. Can I book an exhibitor space?
Please contact us with more details before applying.
Do you supply table covers?
No, you must provide your own table covers.
Am I covered for any breakages or losses or claims?
No. If you want cover then you should obtain public liability insurance (PLI). The exhibitor will assume full responsibility for any third party claims arising from their own exhibit or behaviour. We recommend taking out a PLI policy that covers you for a minimum of £5,000,000 third party cover. This is not a legal requirement just a recommendation so the decision is yours to take.
Can I share a table with another trader?
Yes you can share a table as long as you have two trader passes.
When do you send out trader information packs?
These are sent out roughly 1-2 weeks before the event. Please check your spam folder.
