Artisans are encouraged to teach and demonstrate their crafts as the day goes along. Artisan's Row will be open from 9:00am to 4:00pm and will be located near the front of the camp inside the main circle.

The Marketplace

Foxes Merchant Guidelines 2009

 

We also invite the tradesmen and women of our realm to come display your wares for sale at Foxes. Our merchant's liaison is Lord Tobias Morgan, co-autocrat. He will be coordinating merchant registration and advertisement. Our merchantcrat for on-site needs is to be announced. If you are thinking about merchanting at Foxes, please take a moment to read the Foxes Merchant Guidelines as linked above. This document will provide you with great information about our event as well as the guidelines for participation.

 

This year, The Marketplace at Foxes will be set up near the fighting field to allow ample browsing opportunities for our attendees. Due to site restrictions, merchants who desire to camp with their merchant tent must pre-register for the event to reserve one of our allotted camping spots. If you have any questions prior to the event, please contact the autocrat.
