Applying to trade on Ormskirk Market

If you’re interested in trading on Ormskirk Market you need to register your interest with us. You can do this by:

• Completing the Market Trader registration online form

Once we receive notification of your interest we will contact you directly.

When a suitable vacancy arises you will be required to complete a detailed application form and provide the following:

• One passport size photo of yourself
• Proof of identity e.g. passport or picture driving licence
• Documentation confirming your address, e.g. council tax bill
• Proof that you have public liability insurance cover with a minimum value of £5m
• Confirmation that you and any employees are legally eligible to work in the UK

It is normal practice for all traders to stand as casual traders before being granted a licence to trade on a permanent basis. To avoid overloading the market with the same type of products, applications may not be accepted from traders if it results in too many of the same products being sold. If there are no vacancies available you will be added to a waiting list. New traders should not attend the market unless requested to do so.
