If you have an indoor marquee pitch you can hire a table for the weekend at £6 per table. Unfortunately, we cannot offer the hire of tables to outdoor pitches. Each table is 6ft long. You can book a table for the marquee here Early Access - Friday 12th of June On Friday the 6th June, between 3:30pm and 6pm we will be allowing stallholders onsite for early access to their pitches. During this time, you can put up your sturdy tents and set up the foundations of your stall, such as tables, chairs, displays and stands. We recommend that you do not bring any stock or leave anything of great value overnight on the Friday evening. Want to set-up on Friday? Let us know here. We found this helped you to have a quicker set-up on the Saturday and an opportunity to familiarise yourself with the Park and the event field (Deer Meadow). All tents need to be securely pegged and weighted so they do not blow away overnight. We strongly advise that a standard garden gazebo will not be sufficient to survive the Bradgate elements! Access will be via our Hallgates entrance only - LE7 7HQ. A warden will have your name on the gate to let you in.

Heavy vehicles (i.e. vans) will be directed to park on the gravel staff car park to the back of the Deer Barn. Accessible Parking: For those who have requested parking spaces in the Deer Barns car park for accessibility reasons, these have been reserved for you – please make yourself known to a member of staff upon your arrival.
