Our Ethos: Festival of Life is multi-faceted yet sitting quietly at its core there is a strong vegan policy – i.e. No animal products including - honey, leather, feathers, silk, wool, sea shells, eggs, milk, fish etc… We prefer that all participants be practising or at least be sympathetic to vegetarian/vegan ideals.

Speakers: Sessions last for either 30 or 60 minutes including time for Questions & Answers, with half an hour between sessions to allow for changeover. There is an application form where you can put full details of what you are proposing. We will do our best to accommodate offerings in the most appropriate space and time-slot. Presentations already booked are indicated in the SUMMARY chart, which links to full programme details. Presentations are booked separately from stalls - see further details HERE.

Stall-holders:
INDOORS: Stalls consist of tables 6 foot in length (they are all the same even though they may appear different on the chart). Prices vary between £90 and £120 according to position and are marked on the labout chart. Shared half stalls (3’) may be requested at half the quoted price plus £5. Adjacent stands, including corners, may be booked at total price less £10 - please state your requirements and we will adjust the layout if necessary during the booking process.there is a further concession of £10 (or 10%) for charities. Electricity and wall displays are possible only at the edges of the hall. Full length (floor standing) displays are only possible on the right hand side of the hall, due to limitations on shared space in the centre and stage area, and fixed seating to the left and rear of the hall, but if this is a problem, please let us know.
UPSTAIRS: On the balcony, there is space for four small stalls with massage tables, which are booked in the same way as a single stall.
OUTDOORS: In general, stallholders will be expected to bring tables, seats, and gazobos etc, but if you are in difficulty over this, let us know. Electricity will be available courtesy of the Park Cafe - please bear location in mind when booking your stand.

Terms and Conditions: Insurance: This year’s venue has limited insurance so stall-holders will require their own public liability insurance. Food stalls: are requested to send a copy of food registration, food hygiene certificate and public liability insurance where appropriate. Please no plastic or polystyrene bags, cups, plates etc.
Stand layout: we reserve the right to change the layout of stands in consultation with any alredy booked in order to achieve the best possible result, and to remove any incompatble displays or items taking up excess space to the detriment of other stall-holders.

Access: Stallholders can set up between 9am and 10.30am on Saturday 24th September 2011. We are applying for road access - this will be confirmed nearer the time, meanwhile be prepared to park elsewhere. The Festival finishes at 6pm on Saturday and we request that the premises are cleared by 6.30pm so that the Dance Party may begin promptly at 7pm.

Payments: Stalls are allocated on a first come first served basis once payment has been received - we will reserve them for one week on receipt of your booking form - and when payment is received will create a link to your details online. Payment may be by cheque - please send a copy of the form with an SAE if receipt required. However this year we are encouraging stallholders to pay online direct to our bank account - details are on the application form. In the event of cancellation, a 50% refund of the full amount will be returned, provided that notification is received by 31st July 2011. We reserve the right to add 10% for late payments.

Free Tickets: Stall-holders receive two free places per stall at the Festival, ie one place only per shared or 3ft table. Further tickets can be purchased in the normal way. If you are bringing a number of volunteers who may also be available to act as stewards for the festival on a rota basis, please apply for places for them on this basis - details follow.

Accommodation and Parking: We may be able to offer (very) basic accommodation in London. If you would like more details let us know with at least one month’s notice. There is limited on–road free parking: details - pdf download.
