West Linton Market is run by a small group of volunteers, trying to maintain a traditional village market that promotes locally made or grown products, produce and services while advocating for Keep Scotland The Brand. West Linton is a semi-rural community with only a handful of shops - providing a perfect opportunity to sell your wares and/or gain exposure.
 

We are always on the lookout for new stalls that fit this criteria.
 

We do have some requirements:

​

• Your primary product should be locally produced (i.e. Scottish & preferably travelled less than 100 miles to get to West Linton), or a service/charity targeting the local community.
   

• We will not cater to stalls reselling a nationally distributed product (e.g. Avon).
  Exceptions to this rule will only be made for our Christmas Market held in late November.
   

• You must provide proof of carrying Public/Product Liability Insurance *

• If you will be selling food, you must have a Food Hygiene Certificate * and a Council Food Registration Certificate *

• Using portable gas? You must produce a Gas Safety Certificate *​

• Need electricity? We recommend you bring your own extension cables (and possibly a generator), capable of handling your equipment's power requirements. Note: we have one generator, which can feed up to two stalls - with a combined load of 13amp / 2800watt max. Commercial equipment over 2800watts/13A will not be connected.
   

  *  required for compliance with Scottish Border Council regulations and our insurance policy.

​

Please remember that we are community volunteers trying to do what we can, working within our means. We might need to ask you to re-arrange during setup - please don't take this personally - we have no choice but to take into account our health & safety obligations. We will offer help with your setup and teardown where requested.

We will provide a table and try to offer a gazebo cover (unless you prefer your own) and try to work with you towards meeting your needs. We recommend you bring a tablecloth to cover the table. If you are selling delicate or heavy products, you might want to consider bringing your own sturdier 6ft table (we use standard rated folding plastic tables).

​

Please pay attention to the time you are expected to be at the market. If you are too early, you will have to wait until we have setup the environment with the volunteer help we have available. If you arrive too late and expect to have a specific table location, it is possible that it may have been re-assigned. We'll always do what we can for you, but please work with us.

​

During the week before the market, we will publicise the market using our monthly posters (which are scattered throughout West Linton), our three large vinyl banners, via this website and on Facebook. This event is also published by Visit Scotland and listed on Google Maps. We rely on your timely correspondence in order to get this information published in good time.

​

We have no guaranteed access to toilet facilities on site, but there are public toilets in the village.

​
