Marquee Set Up & Safety
Marquee Tips
Your marquee is your shelter and shopfront. It must be safe and secure at all times.
- Set up on flat ground where possible
- Attach at least 20kg of weight to each leg
- Use proper sandbags, weight plates or water weights (not loose bricks/rocks)
- Avoid guide ropes across walkways where people might trip
- Check all clips and joints are locked in place
- If conditions become unsafe (high winds, storms), you may be asked to lower your marquee or pack down. Safety always comes first.

Bump-Out: Packing Down & Heading Home
At the End of the Market
Bump-out usually feels faster when you have a simple routine.
- Pack away products and displays before taking down your marquee
- Check the ground and surrounding area for rubbish or forgotten items
- Only bring your vehicle back onto the site once it is safe and allowed

Leaving your site clean helps us keep the space welcoming and makes it easier to run future events.
