Friday arvo, packing of the car’s
STEP 6: Friday afternoon we meet from 5:30pm* to pack the gear that’s stored at The Roost. It’s all behind the door on the landing before heading into The Roost from the stairs.
We need to make sure the marquee/tables and boxes can be transported in someone’s car when confirming who’s attending the market. No transport ability, no market.
*If you’re unable to make this time be sure to be in communication with the team so they have you covered.

Trolley
The blue trolley is on loan from Hannah Brien.
Handy to bring along to carry sandbags.
Black Stands
Two large stands and two small stands are available that hold a mixture of A4 to A5 works.
Depending on whether someone will use to display their work will depend on whether you need to bring these.
Awning
If it looks like a potential for rain it’s handy to bring the grey bag which has an Oztrail awning in it. We only have the one so may look a bit bizzare but potentially handy.
On the day
Stock
Bring along your stock and however you’d like to display it. The Roost has access to those black stands that can be seen in the header image of The Roost Markets page, which you’re welcome to use. We also have the black netting for the walls where you can hang things from. Anything else, bring it along and see if it works in the space.
Please make sure you’re allowing enough space for everyone to be shown and willing to cut down on items if you have too much.
Small Signage
If you have any signage you want to add to your area, bring it along. Nothing too massive though as it’s The Roost we’re promoting mostly otherwise it gets too confusing for customers.
Payment Processing System
We usually use Square when processing payments or cash. If a customer purchases a few things from those at the stall on the day it’s handy to take one transaction then divi up the cash later on.
Square does charge a fee so be sure to add that in when sending payments.
Snacks & Water
Be sure to bring along food, a water bottle and extra layers if it’s cold!
Reusable Cup
Bring along your reusable cup for those many coffee’s/hot chocolates.
