FAQ'S
How will my stallholder application be assessed?
Your application, photographs and samples will be presented to an assessment committee who review your application. If your application meets the criteria it then needs to achieve a minimum entry score. Please note the assessment committee may request further information or other materials to be supplied in order to complete the application process.
How long does this process take?
Once your application and samples have been received the application process normally takes 4 – 6 weeks.
How can I send my samples for assessment?
Samples can be posted to:
The Rocks Markets
PO Box N408
Grosvenor Place
NSW 1220
Alternatively, you can drop them off Monday to Friday between 9am and 4pm, at our Reception Desk on; Level 4, 66 Harrington Street, The Rocks.
Please note: Incomplete applications without samples may not be processed. Please keep samples to a manageable size. If your samples are larger than 50cm wide x 40cm deep x 40cm high, please call The Rocks Markets on 0412 271 725 to make alternate arrangement.
Will I receive my samples back?
