Handmade Titirangi
TERMS AND CONDITIONS
What is the aim of Handmade Titirangi?
Handmade Titirangi was set up to provide our local crafty community with an outlet for their amazing talent. It is not just about selling, rather, it is also a place where you can market your product and meet like minded crafty folk.
Where is the event held?
Handmade Titirangi is held at the Kaurilands School on the second Saturday of every month - specifically to avoid conflict with other well established markets. It runs from 10am ~ 2pm most months, which changes at our discretion.
What atmosphere should I expect?
A friendly helpful one, where vendors can promote their work, mingle and share ideas with the craft community. Feedback and suggestions on how we could improve are always welcome.
How is the event promoted?
Mostly on the internet and via our blog. We have a Facebook page and regularly practice word of mouth. The market is advertised via local papers a few days before every event. We place signs up the week of the market around the surrounding area's. Time and money permitting, we also participate in a number of other promotional activites and advertising ideas. Our vendors actively promote the market and we are always looking for new ways to spread the word.
What if I applied and was turned down?
Don’t take it personally. It simply means one of two things. Either we had too many applicants that month and we needed to make a decision or your goods were not suitable for the market.
How do I apply for a table?
Via the Google docs application which is accessed from the Handmade Titirangi blog page.
Do we supply tables?
Yes and No.
We supply a table to all half tables and if any tables are left they are available for full tables for a fee of $5, however there are limited numbers so if there are any left after half tables it will be on a first in first served basis.

What if I need extra room?
Your fee pays for 1, 2 metre space only, at the event. That is all we promise to provide - no more, no less. Should you need more room, such as an extra 1/2 table, or space for a clothing rack, or a display cabinet, you need to request it when applying. Even then it is not guaranteed. You should expect to pay more for the extra space, as you are effectively taking the space another vendor could use. To avoid dissapointment, do not simply expect to turn up and have extra space available for additional items. We have a can do attitude and always do our best to cater for all.
How much do table spaces cost?
A full table is $30 and half table (sharing with another vendor) costs $20. In summer months we can happily accommodate people outside with pop-up gazebos.
Will I get the same table position every month?
No. We do our best to accomodate for a number of people every month and complaining about position simply makes our job harder. At the end of the day, it’s possible we’ve turned people away so you can have your space. We don’t have a lot of space and the Church can at times, like any other venue, be a logisitcal challenge. Shuffling people around is therefore a necessary evil. Of course, we do have ‘regular’ vendors and as such, they are afforded regular positions at our discretion.
We expect our vendors to:
• Kindly not show up before 9am and to have your table set-up by 10am.
• Stay at the market until at least 2pm. We do not tolerate early packup and you will not be invited back if you do so.
• Take all their rubbish home and ensure their general area is left clean.
• Mingle and be friendly to fellow stall holders.
• Give ample notice of cancellation. A text or call on the morning if you can't attend.
• Pay promptly to confirm their place at the market.
• Avoid parking on the yellow lines in front of the church.
• Take extreme care when stopping and unloading vehicles..**
• Maintain and operate a reliable email address.
Parking
We ask that you pack away from the school down a side road. This leaves plenty of parking space in and round the school for your customers. If you are found parking in the school are you will be asked to move. If you are unsure about where to park please do ask.
Schedule
Applications for each Handmade Titirangi event will be open for one week only from the day after the market. Confirmation will be sent out the 1 to 2 days after they close with payment dates etc.
This gives our vendors ample time to:
a) Apply for the event via the Handmade titirangi blog.
b) Make an EFT payment based on your table size and requirement.
c) Advise of cancellation.
And similarly, it gives us ample time to:
a) Organise the layout of hall amongst many other small tasks.
b) Confirm vendor payments and placement.
c) Juggle cancellations.
d) Make any last minute adjustments.
This means, vendors have:
a) Seven days to pay to confirm your place or cancel.
Payments
On the closing date for applications, we will advise you by email if you have been successful or not. You then have SEVEN days to make an EFT payment to guarantee your position at the market. If your payment is not received it’s possible your space will be allocated to another vendor.
Should an alternative payment arrangement be necessary, please let us know in advance. Receipts for payment will be issued on they day of the market only and must be requested. There is no GST component.
Cancellations
Per above, you have seven days from our acknowledgment email to either pay or cancel. Please ensure you have paid by the deadline or your spot will be offered to someone on the waiting list.
The sooner you can advise of cancellation, the easier our job is. There are no refunds issued once payment is received.
