Bazaar / Stallholders
Host a country stall
A stall is a small embassy: food, crafts, stories and a chance to meet Sofia. The bazaar team helps you prepare.
What a stall involves
A stall gives a country, community or interest group a base for the day. Stallholders plan what to sell or display, prepare their space and staff it during the event. National stalls often work with an embassy or community association, but a group of friends can also organise one.
The bazaar team provides the registration process, the layout and the practical rules for the venue. The team confirms what is included in the stall package for each year, because the venue and layout can change.
Registration steps
- Contact the bazaar team or the office to express interest.
- Complete the stallholder registration form for the current year.
- Confirm whether the stall represents an embassy or another group.
- Provide the contact details for the people who will manage the stall.
- Follow the briefing and deadline information from the team.
- Arrive for set up at the time confirmed in the event guide.
Good to know
- Stallholders are responsible for their own stock, cash handling and display materials.
- Food stalls must follow the venue's food safety requirements.
- The team will confirm power, table and access arrangements for the current layout.
- Sponsors and donors are recognised separately from stallholders.
- The bazaar is a public event, so stallholders should expect photography and media coverage.
