15th and 16th of August 2026 will be our 10th anniversary of the first Greyfest! Last year Greyfest was a great success for all involved and this will be our third year at this venue. If you missed out last year at Mount Ephraim Gardens then you have another chance to join us this year at this spectacular venue. We are very lucky to be hosted here again this year as it is a very popular wedding venue. If you did make it last year then we look forwards to welcoming you back!

Please check with us on Facebook or email greyfest@mail.com before booking to make sure that we can accommodate your product or services as we try to avoid too much duplication.

It is to be held this year at Mount Ephraim Gardens, Staplestreet Road, Hernhill, Faversham, Kent, ME13 9TX

15th and 16th of August 2026 10am to 1700 approximately both days. Saturday there will be evening entertainment so you are free to stay open as long as you would like to.

We have had quite a few enquiries already this year for stalls and as of the 15th of February it will be first come first served and charity stall discounts will be limited. Whilst we like to offer some choice of similar stall offerings we don't like to over subscribe to any one product or service so we will refuse a stall if it is too much like others already booked and paid for. If you choose to book and pay via bank transfer or manual Paypal, your place is not confirmed until payment is received. Please note that in order to book up you will need to upload your business insurance certificate. It will not allow you to finalize booking until this has been added during the booking process. If your business insurance expires before Greyfest please upload your current certificate then email your renewal when it arrives.

So, don't miss out on this opportunity and secure your place at the popular and fastest growing Hound event of the year!

This year due to the wonderful venue we are looking at cost increases. But, worry not, we have only minimally increased pitch fees by no more than £5 per day in some places. Trader camping is not included but will only cost £10 for the weekend. We also ask for a raffle prize as part of the pitch fee. Ideally this could be something that you sell as an advert for your business. For charities maybe consider making something up like a hamper or asking your volunteers for their unwanted Christmas presents or crafting skills! We are more than happy for a bottle of something or something unrelated to what you sell. A voucher for your website would be another great idea and is something that can be emailed in advance to get it all sorted out in advance. Of course, cash prizes are also greatly received and can be sent over ahead too. When booking it will ask what you would like to offer and if you would like to send ahead of time. If you would like to bring with you we can collect on Saturday morning or Sunday if you are with us for just that day. This year there will be just one raffle held on the Sunday. We will have tickets printed and top prizes and their donors will be printed on the tickets. These tickets will be distributed ahead of time and will be available to purchase online. There will be a list on social media and on our website regarding the raffle with the prizes and the donors. This is a great chance to advertise your business or group and we will promote you with an individual post as usual on Facebook and Instagram, including details of your prize so a photo would be great if you can email it to us. We obviously need the prize details asap so that we can add the top prizes in time for printing.

If you have any questions drop me a message or email.

We have included an option for stallholders to add any samples or treats to our class winner's goodie bags. If you contribute in any way we will put an advertising leaflet in each of the approximately 100 bags. This is free advertising and a chance to reach potential customers so share your all your details, any offers or discount codes that you may have. We will also list your business on the social media as helping to sponsor the bags. These will need to be supplied by the weekend of the 11th of July to allow time to add them to the bags. We will message you with the address to send samples or treats and leaflets to. If you are not sure what to add, in the past we have added samples of poo bags, wax melts, home baked biscuits, branded promotional items such as hand made pottery hounds, pens/note pads/frisbees/bandanas or just a good old dog treat of some kind. Maybe a couple of biscuits in a cello bag or an individual chew, set your imagination free!

Stall prices are as follows:

Please be sure of your pitch sizes as we will be marking out pitches and these cannot be extended upon arrival due to the number of stalls we are planning for.

Charities 3m x 3m £20 per day or £40 the weekend, large stall over 3m x 3m £40 per day or £60 for the weekend.

Standard 3m x 3m stall £30 for either day or £60 the weekend

Double 6m x 3m frontage stall £55 for either day or £90 for the whole weekend

Please note that when you are booking it may seem as though the stall prices don't show up correctly when you are selecting your requirements but it will work out. Once you select the size, number of days and if you are a charity or not it will give you the above prices.

We have standard 3m x 3m as well as 3m x 6m double front stalls. You can book for either day or the whole weekend. Each booking comes with entry wristbands for 2 stallholders, parking and camping if required which will be £10 extra.

Charity stalls are reduced in price, please let us know how many wristbands you would like.

You can request a pitch with parking behind your stall but these are limited and not guaranteed. If it is absolutely essential then please message us so that we can prioritise you in the requests. You may also get blocked in if you are behind your stall as there won't be a way out between the stalls once all set up. The stallholder parking will be very close and along side of disabled parking so within easy reach.

Please bring bin bags as all rubbish needs to be taken with you due to no rubbish collection from the site.

You may arrive from 4pm on Friday and 8am on each day ready to set up. Cars need to be parked up and not moving by 9.30am for safety.

Please note that there will be no physical shipping of wristbands this year. Please bring a copy of your confirmation email with you.
