It's almost time to apply for a pitch at Bath Christmas Market 2023!

First time applying? We know that for many, your first time applying for a pitch can be an exciting but overwhelming experience. We've comprised a list of our FAQs to help you make a start with your application. 

When is Bath Christmas Market 2023?

We'll be returning to the streets of Bath between Thursday 23rd November and Sunday 10th December for another 18 days of magical merriment.

What different options are available?

We have put together a helpful pack that outlines all the different chalet rental options you have. We have different options for caterers, stallholders, and charities with a range of layouts, lengths, and durations of rentals. Please make sure to check the site plan to be sure you're applying for the pitch you'd like! 

What do you look for in applications?

The best thing to do is to include as much information as possible about your business and the products you wish to sell. We are particularly interested in knowing where your products are sourced, details of how they are made, and the sustainability and ethics of your company. We also try and include a large variety of products at different price points, so we also consider this when we are curating the stallholder list. 

Can I apply for a cart if I had one last year? 

Absolutely! We will be favouring applications from businesses that have not yet taken part in Bath Christmas Market, but we'd love to see an application from anyone that had a cart last year.

Can you rent a chalet just for the day?

Our day rentals are only available for Charities, Not-for-Profits, and Community Groups that are looking to fundraise. For our commercial rentals, the shortest let option we have is our 3-day Christmas Carts. 

What are the dates for the short terms lets?

If you are interested in a short term let on Bath Street, they are running on the following days: 

7 days: Thursday 24th November to Wednesday 29th November

11 days: Thursday 30th November to Sunday 10th December 

For our Christmas Carts, the dates are below: 

3 days: Friday to Sunday 

4 days: Monday to Thursday 

What are the community chalets? 

The community chalets are free for charities, not-for-profits, and community groups to use to raise funds and awareness for their initiatives and campaigns. There are two community chalets available on Milsom Street and the Guildhall. 

What do the different zones mean? 

The different zones relate to the various locations and price points. It's best to check the price list and the site plan for the exact locations of these. 

When applying, you request a zone and a street in the application free of charge. You can then request specific chalets for an additional charge which will be paid if your pitch application is successful.
