Sammio traded outside their first year there and moved inside the following year.
It really is a gamble with the weather but it is a lot cheaper to trade outside and there are some good pitches right by the entrance usually up for grabs right up until the last minute.
Cost of being at these events is always a major factor as it needs to be recouped somehow over the year. Pitch , transport , accommadation etc can hit a small companies budgets quite hard.
It is a strong argument that its important to attend in some capacity though as there isn't many opportunities throughout the year to showcase your product.
So it could be said that the cost of not attending could be greater , if you see what I mean.
