Yarp, this is how it's looking so far - the renault master is there to carry all the stock/equipment, and as we're allow to camp on our pitch the t4 is gonna be there as well - pop up awning can be errected later on in the day when we've sold some stock and made some space, effectively we've got around 7x6m of space to trade on

cheers andrew - the suggestion of the marquee has turned up this: http://www.marqueesandpartytents.co....rd-p-8903.html

should be adequate enough and doesn't have the horrific cream & green stripes on it... will have a search around and find best price, then see if it's possibly to reserve one until the week leading upto the event. If pressure systems and weather looks good then might save the £200 prolly gonna need one for various shows next year but as this will be the first show I wanna be a little bit careful thanks guys!

I bought a 10x20ft marquee off ebay a couple of months back for the AR. 56 quid it cost me. I scoured the place for weeks and found one local pick up only, and won!

Its an industrial strength one, the poles are 2 inch diameter, and very heavy, just be careful what you buy as some are really flimsy, I got a steal with this one.....just not got any where to test it!

its like this one
