The Art on the Prom is an outdoor event promoting artists and artisan makers from across East Anglia, taking place on Sunday, 7th September along Felixstowe’s promenade, Suffolk, from 10am to 5pm.
Pitches consist of 330cm x 180cm Heras fence panels, set up in pairs, available as half fence panels (£75), single fence panels (£145), double fence panels (£280), or Gazebo pitches (£135).
Gazebo pitches will be allocated on designated grass areas facing the promenade with pitches marked on the ground. Artists/traders booking a gazebo pitch must provide a professional gazebo securely attached to the ground, a health and safety assessment, and appropriate Public Liability Insurance (PLI). Traders not complying will be unable to participate.
Pitch prices include panel hire, website listing, and a social media promotional post per pitch purchased, as well as event organisation, staffing, security, first aid and marketing costs.
For promotional purposes, artists/traders must submit at least three photos (1MB max file size) with their application. Selected artists may feature in event posters and press releases. Submission of images grants permission for promotional use online, in press releases, and on social media.
Panels will be prepared for participants arriving between 7.30am and 9am, ready for trading by 10am. The event ends at 5pm, with all participants off-site by 7pm. Applicants agree to these timings.
Artists/traders may decorate panels as desired and must provide their furniture (tables, chairs, stands). Participants are responsible for set-up, takedown, and must remove all fixings and rubbish before departure.
Pitches must be paid for at booking. We operate a no-refunds policy except in cases of event cancellation due to insufficient applications or sponsorship, subject to a £5 administration fee per booking. Card payment booking fees remain non-refundable.
Participants must provide proof of PLI by 23rd August 2025 to felixstoweartontheprom@gmail.com and bring a printed copy on event day. Art on the Prom recommends Artists Network membership (£38 annually) for free insurance: https://www.a-n.co.uk/join/
