The Lane Events Christmas Market
Albert Halls, Stirling
29th and 30th of November 2025
Registration of interest form
We will be hosting our fantastic 2 day Christmas market at the Albert Halls, Stirling again this year. The dates for the market are the 29th and 30th of November.
Our market will have over 70 local artisans, across this 2 day event. It's always a fabulous event showcasing the best of our local talent including art, ceramics, textiles, bakes to name just a few. Each of the last 5 years our footfall has been around 1500, proving its popularity.
It really is a fantastic event, with wonderful local talent and there is always an amazing buzz across the weekend. Our team of Volunteers are always on hand to welcome you and help out over the weekend. As usual we will be supporting Strathcarron Hospice which is a hugely deserving cause, and one that is close to everyone's hearts.
Due to venue hire increases of circa 20% over the last 3 years I am reluctantly having to raise the price of our table hire this year, as I can no longer afford to absorb this full increase. I know you are all feeling the pinch as lots of businesses have had to raise prices over the years, so I am holding this increase to circa 5% which I hope you understand.
The price for the main hall for 1 day is £68, 2 days is £116, and for the upstairs hall it is £58 for 1 day and 2 days £105.
This form is only a registration of interest form, so please await my selection result email advising if you have a place at our market. Your space will only be confirmed once I have received your full payment. If the option you have requested is full, but I am able to offer you a space on another day, or in the other hall, I will let you know, otherwise I will pop you on the waiting list. Whatever the outcome you will always receive an email from me in response to your registration of interest.
Over the years I have tried my best to accommodate those that want a little extra space either for display rails, or an extra side table, but this is being requested more and more, so to make it fairer to all those attending I have introduced a small fee for those that would like to request it. Due to the venue's Health and Safety I only have a few tables with extra space available in the main hall, so I will try my best to accommodate those that request it.
Our hire cost includes 1 x (6ftx3ft) trestle table, 1x light grey tablecloth, 1x chair, access to Wifi, free refreshments for stallholders and electricity for those that need it (this is not guaranteed and will be on a first come first served basis). For Health and Safety reasons I have been asked by the venue that you stick to the space behind the trestle table, unless you have requested extra space on your registration form.
I limit the number of stallholders in a similar category to ensure stallholders maximise capacity for sales so please check the box to let me know your product category. To be fair to all our stallholders I ask you to only bring along products in the category you have signed up for.
I will be marketing the event through our social media channels, as well as an article in our local magazine Love Local.
The market will be open 10am - 5pm on the Saturday and 10am - 4pm on the Sunday for customers.
Set up for stallholders will be between 8-10am on the Saturday and 9-10 on the Sunday. De-rig I have secured the hall for 1hr after the market closes to customers each day. If you book both days, or just the Saturday there will be the option to set up on the Friday evening between 6pm - 8pm.
Please remember this is only a registration of interest form, so you will receive an email from me to let you know if you have been successful.
Note - food and drink stallholders will be required to send copies of Food Hygiene and EHO certificates if you are successful in securing a stall.
Due to the number of late cancellations last year, full payment will be required by the end of June. For cancellations refunds will only be honoured with 6 weeks notice, as this gives me the opportunity to offer your spot to another stallholder.
If you have any questions before registering please just email fiona@the-lane.co.uk and I'll be happy to help.
