How can I exhibit at Hugglets Festivals?

Home      Back to Festivals

Most space is allocated to our long standing exhibitors but we can usually allocate some spaces at each event to exhibitors who are new to Hugglets. You are welcome to register your interest at any time by supplying a few photographs of your work (which we can keep on file) and an indication of which events you are interested in attending.

When we receive your 'registration of interest' we will acknowledge receipt and if we feel we might be able to offer space at some point in the future, we will keep your photographs on file for consideration whenever space comes up. Stands are generally allocated to newcomers about six months prior to each event.

Due to the large number of applicants we do not operate a purely time-based waiting list. Our assessment is based on the originality and quality of work and overall appeal as perceived from your photos. We will also note recommendations from existing exhibitors. Since 2003 we have been implementing a points system which also takes note of advertising in the UK Teddy Bear Guide.

Not all exhibitors are bear artists. We also include specialist bear shops, dealers in old bears and suppliers of other related products and services such as bear-making supplies.

Hugglets Teddy Bear Festivals take place in February and September. The tables are generally 6' long and 2' 6" wide. Prices vary from £135 to £180 and no VAT (tax) is payable. Our general policy is to make only single stands available in order to include as many applicants as possible (a few exhibitors do have 2 stands for historical reasons). Dates and further details are available on other pages of this web site.

Offers to exhibitors who are new to our events are mostly on a one-off basis to start with because often the stands are only available temporarily.

You can print a 'registration of interest' form here if you have Adobe/Acrobat Reader, or contact us if you'd like to receive one by post.

We look forward to hearing from you! Hard copies of photos can be sent to the following address: Hugglets, PO Box 290, Brighton, BN2 1DR. Alternatively you can email jpgs to us (no more than three by email) or send us your website address so we can view your bears: please email: info@hugglets.co.uk
