You might be thinking It very much depends on the type of thing you want to sell, and the market you want to sell at. Some markets are completely informal, others only allow new traders by invitation or prior approval. If you are selling food products then you must comply with the relevant Health & Safety legislation. Some markets require you to have various insurances - others don’t - though you might want to get some insurance for your own peace of mind. As a first step it’s best to visit your local market, and speak to the current traders. See if anybody else is selling the same products that you plan to sell. Is your idea sufficiently different? You need to enjoy early-morning starts, hard physical work and being out in all weathers. (It’s not as easy as it looks!) |
Waterproof clothing, sunscreen (as if!), umbrella, warm clothing, sandals,

By the way - it doesn’t always rain in West Cork!
