Register to take part
in the 2024 WBR Spring Fayre
REGISTRATION NOW CLOSED
This year’s Spring Fayre is now full and the event is now locked!
If you’d like to register your interest for next year please complete the registration form.
With just a few weeks to go to the Spring Fayre, we only have limited availability! Stalls are going fast so if you would like to secure your place at THE biggest community even in West London this May register now below.
Last year’s Spring Fayre attracted over 14,000 visitors from outside the area! This year again will see a full, temporary street closure with Market Stalls, Street Food, Arts & Crafts, Games, Live Music and more right on the Wandsworth Bridge Road!
Wandsworth Bridge Road was selected by the GLA as one of London’s ‘High Streets for All’ regeneration initiatives, and the Spring Fayres are an integral part of that. Building the community is a key foundation of both the GLA & LBHF’s plans and our own ambition for the future of WBR. We aim to make the Spring Fayres true community events.
What does the Spring Fayre include?
The Fayre will span from at least Ryecroft Street down to Friston Street (subject to change), with 2 Live Music Stages set up at the junctions of Hazlebury Road and Narborough Street, as well as Children’s Activities Area, Maypole, Funfair stalls, Climbing Wall and more throughout the full length of the Fayre.
All Businesses and Residents are invited to get involved

In order to secure your bookings, if any of the below apply to you we will reuire proof of these certificates as soon as possible.
Public Liability Insurance
All traders selling or offering goods are required to provide a copy of their Public Liability Insurance cover of at least £5 million.

Food Hygiene Certificate
If you are selling or offering food, you will need to have a Food Hygiene Certificate (ideally Level 2 or above) issued within the last 3 years. If you don’t have one, please see link to an online course. It only takes couple hours to complete and costs £20+vat: https://www.highspeedtraining.co.uk/food-hygiene.

There are also a number of requirements from the Council if you’re serving food any any capacity. Please see full details here.
Temporary Events Notice Licence
If you are selling alcohol you will need to apply for a Temporary Events Notice Licence (TEN) via LBHF Council (note this must be done at least 10 working days before the event – i.e. Monday 8th May.

Electricity
If you require power you are advised to use battery power where possible. For Wandsworth Bridge Road businesses we ask you to use power from your own business premises. We may provide generators but this is still TBC and would require fees. If we do not use generators, and you are a visiting stall holder that requires electricity, we will endeavour to put you in touch with an existing business on the street to connect to their supply for which they may charge.
Rubbish
All stall holders are responsible for the management of their own rubbish and recycling on the day and must place it in the designated areas after the event, leaving nothing behind on the road.
Hiring stalls
SOLD OUT: we now have a waiting list for stalls. If you have your own marquee to use we can more easily accommodate you. But if you require a stall please register your details below and we will let you know if we can offer you a stall.

Waste & Sustainability Guidelines
Each stall holder is responsible for their own rubbish.
Each stall holder selling a consumable product MUST provide their own bins. Ideally you would have a mixed waste bin and a dry, recycling bin (if your product has a recyclable container) that are clearly labeled.
Each stall holder will be responsible for placing their full bin bags in the large council rubbish bins that will be placed up and down the WBR.
Each stall holder is to take any large packing items / stall decorations away with them to dispose of at the end of the event.
If you are serving a consumable food or drink we kindly ask that use use an eco-friendly alternative to single-use plastic such as returnable, biodegradable or compostable items.
If you create waste-oil or contaminated waste-water from your stand then it is to be taken OFF SITE at the end of the event, not out down the drains on the road.
If you are distributing flyers or printed marketing / promotional materials please ensure that these are given out responsibly. A large poster that interested parties can take of photo of or that contains a QR code is not only better for the environment but much more cost effective.
Electricity
If you require power you are advised to use battery power where possible. For Wandsworth Bridge Road businesses we ask you to use power from your own business premises. We may provide generators but this is still TBC and would require fees. If we do not use generators, and you are a visiting stall holder that requires electricity, we will endeavour to put you in touch with an existing business on the street to connect to their supply for which they may charge.. Any business on the road supplying power to a stall, their own or others, takes full responsibility for the supply and must ensure all cables are secure, safe and meet Health and Safety requirements.
Gas Equipment
Gas equipment can be used on site as long as traders have with them up to date safety documentation/certification and can demonstrate that the cylinders are secured.
Cancellation and Refunds
Refunds (minus a £10 admin fee) will only be processed if you cancel at least four weeks before the event 14th April (4 weeks prior to event). Any cancellations after 14th April will not be refunded.
The Wandsworth Bridge Road Association (WBRA) reserves the right to cancel the event or individual bookings. In the unlikely event of the WBRA cancelling the event you will be issued with a full refund for your stalls hire. The WBRA will not be held liable for any losses incurred.
Impact Assessment
