Parade and Market Stall
Information 2015
Dear Pride Supporter,
Following last year’s success, we are absolutely delighted to provide within this
document information on the Parade and Market Stall provision at this year’s
Durham Pride to be held on;
Sunday 31st May 2015
Parade from the Palace Green at 1pm with entertainment in and around the
Millennium Square Durham City Centre
Attendance last year for an ‘evening only’ celebration attracted well over 2,000
people and after so many positive comments, we are going for a full day event this
year adding a fabulous Parade start with a new outside stage area in the square.
Last year’s stallholders told us that by participating in the market stall area at the
event they got a chance to promote their organisations’ values, giving them a unique
opportunity to raise their profile and engage with County Durham’s growing LGBTQ
community. As a response to that feedback we have introduced more stalls to the
celebrations.
So, if you want to join us - you will find the terms of the Parade and Market
Stall participation below. Please send this information back to us as fast as
possible. Space for both is very limited and as such the Pride Board will have
the final decision on Parade and Market Stall participation.
Now the bad news – unfortunately we have to charge a fee for market stalls to cover
our costs. As an organisation that is not-for-profit we have set pricing to cover the
market stall area at the cost price of £99. The cost includes a Durham Council
Trader’s Licence that covers all stalls for the day, a pitch and a waterproof stall
shelter. Due to the demand - payment must be received within 4 weeks of booking to
guarantee your market stall place.
If you’d like to discuss anything further that is mentioned within this pack please do
not hesitate to contact me.
Yours sincerely
MJ Metcalf
