Event Planning: Merchandising and Special Licensing

You should consider the following four aspects when planning for merchandising:

• The facilities, including structure of stalls & stands
• Space requirements
• Setting up, dismantling and operation of the stall or stand
• Items for sale as merchandise, which should not breach any licence requirements, trading standards, and copyright or trademark regulations.  If in any doubt about whether or not a proposed merchandise stand should be registered or licensed, please contact the licensing team at your local authority.
