I used to work in insurance but unfortunately not public liability per se.

Best bet would be to ask other market stall holders or the owners of where you're planning to set up.

Are you sure the insurance isn't included in the price of your stall? If it's not probably the best place to start is your insurance company:-)

No, most markets don't have insurance for the stall holders (at least none have and l've been doing markets for 30 odd years).

l am a reg'd second hand dealer and my insurance covers my business. Ring and ask any of the main insurance mobs but be warned, it isn't cheap.

Things must have changed, Jeanie; I have to admit it's been a while since I regularly did craft markets;-)

I found that my Public liability insurance covered me at stalls as well.

It covered me and customers etc, but not other people who were working with me.

Any "proper" market will need a confirmation certificate of your insurance before allowing you in.

I've been very happy with Traders Voice. Well priced and covers more than other insurance providers - and very helpful on the phone.

* checks Parks & Wildlife site for information about fox shooting *

Whacha mean you thought l was a boy???? Huh???

Well, butter me on both sides, that about takes the cake. First l have to do that dreadful health check through my workplace and the doctor says l'm short, old and 'obese' according to the BMI thingy. Then l come in here to find out that l'm thought of as a boy?

Bad fox. Bad.

and many can assure you that the fox is far from 40 and fabulous

50 and flatulant is probably nearer the truth.
