INFO FOR EXHIBITORS ON THE MARKET STREET
AS WELL AS IN THE FESTIVAL SITE
(Please note that there is a certain form for food vendors)
Rules and information
How nice that you are interested in joining! Urkult’s fair market aims to strengthen small and high-quality producers, preferably local. As an exhibitor at Urkult’s fair market, you represent Urkult. This means a great deal of responsibility for how you and your crew behave. Love and respect!
We have some ambitions that all sellers on our market must live up to:
- All goods must be produced in an ethical manner. This means that you, as a seller, have a responsibility to keep track of how your products or the materials for your craft are produced, transported and handled.
- All the food, skin and hair care products must be organic. We would like to see that other products are too, but it is not a requirement.
- We love recycling and want to encourage all our sellers to think about whether something in your production or range could be replaced with something used instead of producing new materials over and over again.
- Plastic is a versatile material, where it is really needed, but as an exhibitor you work to minimize plastic in your range. It is not needed in bags, packaging, yarn and textiles, etc.
- Nobody should be exploited and no laws can be broken for you to be able to come to Urkult and sell your stuff. Materials and products from animals that are endangered are strictly prohibited.
- We might have different opinions and thoughts and that’s okay, but on Urkult’s fair market we don’t sell things that, without scientific evidence, claim to cure diseases/”help your body heal itself” or the like. It is also not permitted to advertise this type of product.
- All forms of pyramid schemes/multi-level marketing are prohibited regardless of the product.
- Crystals, stones, etc. are products where there is a big problem regarding ethics, laws and origin. If you are interested in selling something like this, we require you to be educated. You need to continuously, when purchasing, ask questions about the origin of the product so you know that it was not acquired through child labor, on illegal land (eg but not exclusively nature reserves and national parks) or exported/imported illegally.
- If we discover products that violate our rules or do not follow Urkult’s policy, we reserve the right to have you remove it from sale.
- In case of repeated or serious violations, you will have to leave and your spot will be made available to others without financial compensation to you.
Practical information and rules
At Urkult there are two different areas for the market. Our market street that goes outside of the entrance or in the craft sheds inside the festival site.
All parts of the market are in a forest landscape, so don’t expect a flat and paved surface. In heavy rain there may be problems with run-off on parts of the market street, please plan for this so you have a strategy if it happens (eg you can store your stock in waterproof containers alternatively raised off the ground).
We do not have fixed opening hours for the market, but we expect the following:
- To avoid chaos, we want all exhibitors to be on site by 11.55pm on Wednesday at the latest. It is therefore no longer possible to show up on Thursday. It is of course ok to come earlier in the week and start your sales. Remember to let us know which day you are coming.
- To be able to drive into the market area from Wednesday to Saturday, a permit is required. To get it, you must notify the market manager of the arrival date and registration number of the car(s) that will pass the roadblock. (Note that this permit only applies upon arrival, so you may not drive in and out several times during the festival without special approval from the market manager.)
- You are not allowed to park your car inside the festival area, ever. With a special permit, you may drive in and unload upon arrival and then drive out again immediately after unloading. During unloading, your car must be positioned so that it is not in the way of others.
- Everything must be in place and unpacked, ready for customers no later than 12:00 on Thursday or you will lose your place.
We do not have specific opening hours, but it is up to you as a seller when you want to open and close for the day. However, we expect you to be open when the festival starts and every day during the festival. - When you leave on Sunday, it is important that you clean up after yourself and do not leave any waste, packaging or the like. Anyone who does not take care of their rubbish will receive an invoice for disposal afterwards. The fee that is invoiced is between SEK 1,000 and SEK 5,000 depending on the extent of littering and is determined by the market manager.
Nothing must be placed on the paved road or protrude above the paved road. - Your application is binding. Confirmation will be sent to you via email. It also means that your application has been accepted and you have been allocated a place. Make sure that the marknaden@urkult.se is among your safe addresses so that our emails do not end up in your spam folder.
The children’s market
We are pleased that your children want to be part of Urkult’s market! There is no cost to join, but we have some rules to make it work as well as possible:
- We have allocated a part of the market for the children. It is important that the sales take place there and nowhere else.
- You as parents have all the responsibility to supervise your child and make sure it is safe.
- The children’s market is open between noon and 6 p.m. After 6 p.m., no sales may take place.
- In Urkult’s market, we have a requirement that the products be fair, and it is important that you strive for this goal as well. For example, If any food is sold, it must be organic and we want you to avoid plastic as much as possible.
- The most important thing is that everyone has fun! If your child stops having fun and wants to do something else, just clean up and leave.
