THE Bazaar

All DRM events must be booked and paid for via our online Vendor Dashboard. Once you’ve confirmed your spot via booking, you may start getting prepared for the event. 

Being organised is crucial, so please ensure you read all of this information so that you’re prepared for the event. 

Navigate to your Vendor Dashboard and click the Book Your Stall button. Select your desired date and complete your booking. You will receive a booking confirmation via email. Need to make changes to your booking? Email our Event Manager via em@drm.market.

The Bazaar trades in an air conditioned indoor warehouse. Please note: As it is a concrete base you may experience small inconsistencies in the levelling of the ground. Please also be prepared and bring chocks to support your structures. 

As an indoor event, you may also want to consider additional lighting for your stall. DRM rigs decorative festoon lighting inside the venue which will create the overall ambience of the event. It is important to keep in mind that these lights are not designed to be spotlights on stalls. There are many creative solutions that can provide a little bit more shine on your space. You might like to explore battery operated LED lights or fairy lights for example. 

Marquees are not permitted at the indoor Bazaar. This Market is held in an air-conditioned warehouse style market hall that is completely undercover. If you are accustomed to using a marquee at other markets and use the marquee poles to hang/display your products, please ensure you have an alternative option for displaying your products, i.e. racking or shelving.

Prior to the event, you will be notified via email of which door to bump-in. Upon arrival for bump-in, you will be told where to find your stall. Your stall will be marked accordingly.

Stalls must not exceed the allocated space and any signage including A Frames must be within your allocated space. 

Vendors found to have extended beyond their allocated site will be requested to contain their stall within their space. Pre-event inspections will be carried out to ensure all vendors are within their allocated boundaries.

Power access is available on request but strictly limited to 1x plug-in. If you find that the power point beside you is still vacant mid-market, do not assume you can use this without speaking to the Event Manager.

If you are using our power, please bring tested and tagged extension cords, power boards and gaffa tape with you in the event you are required to share your outlet with another Vendor. 

Power boards must be fitted with surge protection. Double adapters are NOT permitted. 

DRM are not liable for any damages which arise from the loss of power to your stalls, particularly where overuse has occurred.

ALL of your electrical items that will be used on site during the event that require power MUST be tested and tagged prior to any use.

Due to time constraints during bump-in, we strongly recommend that stallholders arrange testing and tagging prior to arrival at the venue.

If your items are NOT tested and tagged, they cannot be used at our events.

All fire hydrants, reels and extinguishers are clearly marked on the site map. Stalls positioned near these assets, must keep a clear 2m boundary around them.

Unfortunately, we are unable to provide WI-FI access to our Vendors. 

Use your social media channels to promote your attendance at DRM.

If you're on Facebook, send all of your friends an invitation to the markets using the official DRM event invitation, as found on our Facebook page.

For the greatest possible reach, use our official hashtags #distilleryroadmarket #drmtrucksandtunes #drmbazaarmarket

Do you have your own website? Maybe you'd like to add the DRM Vendor Badge to your website, blog or email signature. You can request this from our Event Manager. Make sure your website is up to date too, because you'll be getting some increased traffic both before and after the markets. 

Ensure you’ve prepared flyers and business cards for your customers - if you’re a food vendor you may find patrons are on the look-out for event caterers at Distillery Road Market.

Promote your site location to your followers. 

Update your website and socials with DRM digital assets and hashtags.

Make note of your bump-in location.

Read over all bump in and out instructions and ensure all staff are briefed.

Public liability insurance to the value of $10million is mandatory for all stallholders. In addition, stallholders must meet all applicable statutory requirements. Examples include, but are not limited to, the completion, lodgement and/or the securing of, from the relevant authorities, Food Regulations Registration, Food Act Registration Certificates, Food Safety Program Templates and Limited Liquor Licences.
