Casual traders
The following rules explain how to become a casual trader at Hemsworth Market:
'Permanent' (licensed) traders have till 9am to occupy their stalls. 'Casual trader stalls' are then let on between 9am and 10am.

Casual traders must report to the Market Office on site on the day they intend to stand (8.30 a.m. to 9.00 a.m.). A short registration form needs fulfilling prior to standing.
Vacant stalls, if any, are allocated at about 9.00 to 9.30 am, based on list position and goods sold.
