Vendor FAQs

When, where, and how often does it take place?
The market runs on certain Saturdays from 9am to 3pm at Russell High School (982 North Russell Rd.). Our upcoming dates are listed on the Home page.

Is the market inside or outside?
We host 50-70 indoor vendors at each market with some outdoor vendors in good weather.

What does it cost to participate?
Participation starts at $15+HST and includes one space. Spaces vary from 24 sq ft to 84 sq ft and additional space can be added for larger setups if desired. Insurance and optional rentals (tables and chairs) are extra.

I'm an artist, crafter, antique dealer etc. Can I attend Russell Flea as a vendor?
Absolutely. We're always looking for exciting new vendors and we'd love for you to apply. Fill out the form here and we'll review your application and get in touch within the next few days. We are selective with our vendors to ensure our shoppers will only find great things at the market, but chances are if your items (or service) are awesome and unique, we will approve your application and host you as an occasional vendor at our market.

Someone is already selling something similar to me at Russell Flea. Does this mean I shouldn't apply?
Please send in your application nonetheless. At the very least, we'll add you to our list of interested vendors and will send you an invitation to attend if that similar individual stops attending or can't attend a market date.

I'm from Toronto, Montreal, Ottawa, etc. am I allowed to become a vendor?
Many of our vendors are locals but Russell Flea is open to vendors from all over.

I'm a direct sales consultant, can I participate in Russell Flea?
We do host a few direct sales vendors at each market. Submit a vendor application form and we'll let you know when we have a space available for you.

Are there any additional costs? Tables, chairs, insurance, parking etc.?
Tables are available in 3 lengths (4', 6', and 8' long) and are available for rental at $5, $7, and $15 per day respectively.
Chairs are available for rent at $2.5 per day.
Outdoor pop up tent rentals may be available on request. 
Insurance is required: for occasional vendors, consider Duuo vendor insurance (https://duuo.ca/vendor-insurance/).
Onsite parking is free.
Please Note - All rentals must be pre-booked and pre-paid when you pay for your space. There will be no additional rental items available day-of.

How long do vendors have to set up?
The school custodian opens the doors at 8am sharp. Vendors have about an hour to set up their booth before the doors open to the public. At the end of the day, vendors have two hours to take down and be off the school property by 5pm.

How big is a booth?
Spaces vary between 4' x 6' and 6' x 14' frontage depending on your booth location. See a sample floor plan here. Once your application has been approved you'll be able to request the booth space you would like. Those looking for even larger spaces can book two or more spaces as desired. Need a custom sized space? Email us at [email protected] to inquire.
​
Can I pick my booth's location?
Once approved for a particular market date, we will be in touch so you can pick your booth space.

By submitting the application form am I committed to attending Russell Flea?
No. Submitting the application merely expresses interest in the selected dates and gains you access to future updates about Russell Flea through our vendor newsletter. Submitting the form does not yet commit you to setting up nor are you guaranteed a space.

Can I apply now?
Thank you for reading through our FAQs. You may now return to the vendor application. If you have any additional questions or if there's something we missed, please check out our Terms & Conditions, or simply get in touch! Once you've submitted your application, check your email frequently as we'll be in touch with your status along with further instructions and information regarding Russell Flea. ​
