No-show, same-day cancellation, or unannounced absence: The full stall fee will be charged.

Repeated unannounced absences or non-responsiveness may affect your future participation in any Mewburn Markets event.

Friday Night Vibes is held at Trusts Arena, Henderson. In the event of a conflicting booking at the venue, Mewburn Markets reserves the right to cancel a scheduled market. We will provide a minimum of 2 weeks' notice in such circumstances. No charge will apply for market cancellations initiated by Mewburn Markets.

6. Stallholder Standards & Conduct

All stallholders are expected to maintain a high standard of presentation and conduct. The following requirements apply at all markets:

Stalls must always be well-presented. For Gazebo stalls, tablecloths must be used and reach to the floor. Storage and equipment must not be visible to customers.
All gazebo structures must be secured with ballast weights appropriate to the forecast weather conditions on the day of the market. Stallholders are responsible for ensuring their weights are sufficient for prevailing conditions — this is particularly critical in high-wind forecasts. Market staff reserve the right to require any gazebo deemed inadequately secured to be dismantled.
All tablecloths and coverings must be safely secured and must not pose a trip hazard.
Stallholders must remain at their stall for the full duration of the market. Early pack-up will result in exclusion from future markets.
All waste and rubbish must be removed by the stallholder. Leave your area clean.
Stallholders must be courteous and professional towards fellow stallholders, customers, and market staff.
Stallholders must maintain a reliable and regularly monitored email address for all market communications.
Vehicles must be unloaded with extreme care. Observe all site-specific vehicle rules outlined in Section 3.
Stallholders must comply with all relevant New Zealand legislation applicable to their business, including the Health and Safety at Work Act 2015, the Food Act 2014, and all applicable food safety and licensing requirements.

7. New Stallholders — Product Approval

If you are new to Mewburn Markets, we require the following before your first market:

Three (3) photos of your products
One (1) photo of your stall setup
If you sell food: a copy of your current Food Licence and your Food Safety Grade (A, B, or C)

Please email these to markets@mewburnmarkets.co.nz. Your stall will not be confirmed until these are received and approved.

8. Public Liability Insurance

We strongly recommend that all stallholders hold a current public liability insurance policy. While insurance is not a strict requirement, you must disclose to us whether you hold such a policy as part of your application. The Mewburn Group Limited accepts no liability for loss, damage, or injury arising from a stallholder's activities.

9. Indemnity

By participating in any Mewburn Markets event, you agree to indemnify and hold harmless The Mewburn Group Limited, its directors, employees, and agents against any loss, cost, claim, or expense arising from your activities as a stallholder, including but not limited to any breach of applicable law, food safety failure, property damage, or personal injury caused by you or your representatives.

10. Incidents & Accidents

All incidents or accidents — no matter how minor — must be reported to a Mewburn Markets host or market manager as soon as possible. Do not leave the market site before reporting an incident.

11. Market Cancellation by Organiser

Mewburn Markets reserves the right to cancel or postpone any market due to circumstances beyond its reasonable control. In such cases, no charge will apply to confirmed stallholders. See Section 5.2 for the specific venue conflict policy applicable to Friday Night Vibes.

12. Changes to These Terms

Mewburn Markets reserves the right to update these Terms and Conditions at any time. The current version will always be available at www.mewburnmarkets.co.nz. Continued participation in any Mewburn Markets event constitutes acceptance of the current Terms.
