Stall Details & Requirements
Stall Space - Each stall holder will receive a full table space, which you are welcome to share with a friend. Full tables measure 240cm x 60cm, and half tables measure 120cm x 60cm.
Setup - You will be provided with your table space and 1 or 2 chairs. You are responsible for decorating your own table and managing your own sales on the day.
Zine Content Rule - The only requirement for having a stall is that your stock must be primarily zines! Your table must consist of at least 70% zines, while the remaining 30% can be prints, stickers, and other DIY items.

Spaces limited to 30 tables.

Venue: The event will be held at Founders Heritage Park. It is a lovely, welcoming, and fully accessible venue. If it rains again, we have a back gate drive in backup options to accommodate as needed!
