FLOOR PLAN

The 2025 Craft Market & Costume Exhibit is on Saturday 5 July 2025 and this year will be held at the Rotorua Energy Events Centre.

The winter Craft Market for 2025 will be held at the Rotorua Energy Events Centre, with easy load in access directly off the main foyer or rear entrance. 

The Rotorua Energy Events Centre offers plenty of free carparking and will have a café running on the Saturday to ensure you can also remain caffeinated and fueled throughout the weekend.

The object of the Costumiers’ Fantasy Masquerade Ball weekend craft market is to have quality artisan products, clothing/costumes, crafts & wares available for sale which would primarily be of interest to the types of guests attending our Masquerade Ball weekend event, while also offering something to the general public who are also freely welcome to attend.

  • Please read the details & terms & conditions carefully.
  • Please complete & submit the application form (see link above)

Once your application has been accepted, an email with payment details and tax invoice will be sent to you. Your stall booking is ‘held’ but not confirmed until payment in full has been received. ‘Holds’ may be released after 28 days from invoice especially if there is a waitlist for stalls from other vendors.

PRODUCT IMAGES

Email at least two clean high-resolution photos of your products as soon as possible 

You’re welcome to supply as many high-resolution, good quality images of your products as you wish. The event organisers will select the best images to suit the marketing & promotional spaces. Do not supply images embedded on a word doc file or montaged images.

Failure to provide high resolution photographs may mean your stall / products may not be promoted via social media posts, promotions, advertisements etc, and your website listing will show without imagery. Images supplied late and/or once artwork has been designed or the event promotions begin cannot be guaranteed to be updated or included into further marketing materials.

We look forward to working with you and if you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.

Kind regards
Rozanne de Wild - Event Manager
