Code of Practice and Information for Palazzo de Piro

The Market Manager will assign location of stalls prior to the day of the market, and his/her decision is final. Stalls should be clearly labelled with the business name. Tables are not provided by us, you must bring your own. Chairs will be provided by Palazzo de Piro. If claiming ‘organic’ or similar certification, a copy of the certificate and supporting documents must be displayed on your stall.

The stallholder must be dressed in clean and suitably presentable clothing, appropriate for the prevailing climate. Smoking at the stall and within the market environs is strictly prohibited.

Stalls must be kept clean, tidy and free from hazards. The stallholder will clean up any spillage. Stallholders are responsible for removing their own rubbish at the end of the day. Please leave your stall area the way you found it.

Stalls must be ready for trading when the market opens at 10am. We will be at the venue 2 hours before the market opens on Saturday 10th and Sunday 11th March for you to be able to start setting up. Please note that you will not be able to drive into Mdina without the permit, make sure you have it with you.

Packing up should not begin before market closure to the public at 5pm.

Even if stallholders sell out, they must remain at the market until closing as it affects the look of the market overall i.e. treat it as an opportunity to promote produce and business.

Antisocial behaviour will mean instant dismissal from the market.
