Easter Market Shopping List

An Easter market needs more than stalls and decorations. You will need practical supplies for sellers, visitors, payments, refreshments, signs and last-minute setup. Plan equipment for every stall, plus a clear information point and a way to keep stock, cables and personal items out of the walkway. Buy non-perishable items first, then check the weather and confirm deliveries before you shop for anything that depends on the final layout.

Tips

  • Plan one table, table covering and price display for each stall, then keep at least one spare set available for damage or late arrivals. Chalkboards, chalk markers and clothespins are useful when prices or stall details change on the day.
  • Allow one payment setup per busy selling point: a payment terminal or cash box, a mobile phone, charging cable and access to a power strip. Test every terminal and cable before market day rather than discovering a missing charger during opening.
  • For an outdoor market, check the forecast before buying or collecting supplies and match the number of party tents to the stall layout. Keep extension cords and power strips away from walkways, and prepare a dry place for spare stock and decorations.
  • Set aside separate baskets or crates for Easter decorations, table supplies and seller stock. This makes unloading faster and prevents small items such as decorative eggs, clothespins and chalk markers from disappearing among larger equipment.
  • Buy coffee, tea and snacks according to the expected attendance, but do not leave cups, serving items and waste bins until the final shop. Prepare these supplies before setup so volunteers are not sent shopping while stalls are being unloaded.
