Stallholders - Prestige County Events

Trading with Prestige County Events is a great way to meet new customers who are ready to shop. We put on fun, friendly and well-run shopping-focused events in stunning, historic locations, supported by targeted advertising campaigns to attract the right audience. Our events are fast becoming known as some of the best in East Anglia with many previous stallholders reporting record sales figures.

We carefully curate the perfect mix of stalls to ensure product categories are not over saturated, allowing fair competition for stallholders and a varied choice for shoppers.

If you are an independent business with something different to offer, a local crafter with high quality products or an artisan food & drink producer we look forward to working with you at one of our upcoming seasonal events or monthly markets.

Stallholder Testimonials

Firstly just wanted to say a huge thank you for yesterday, the event was perfectly executed and was amazing for us. Was by far our best sale days yet. Well done on hosting an amazing event. I would love to come back to this event next year.

I just want to say a massive thank you to you and your fabulous team for the event at Ingatestone Hall at the weekend. It's the first time I have done one of your events, and it was brilliant. Your organisation and marketing are superb. I know how much is involved and what hard work events are, particularly a new event at a new venue. I loved the layout, there was plenty for people to see and do, and I also loved the high level of crafts and crafters exhibiting.

I just wanted to extend my heartfelt thanks to you all for the incredible experience at the Essex County Craft Show 2025. This was my first time trading with you, and after five years of participating in events run by various organisers, I can confidently say this was the most enjoyable and professionally run show I’ve attended to date. From start to finish, everything was so well organised — the trader pack was clear and informative, the market was beautifully laid out, and the staff were nothing short of outstanding: friendly, helpful, and always on hand with a smile. You truly went above and beyond my expectations, and I’m so grateful for all the hard work and care that went into making the event such a success.
