Become an approved casual trader

Find out how to become an approved casual trader.

Casual trading may be suitable for non-food traders who wish to try out a market before committing to a regular licence or who wish to trade at more than one market in Westminster on an ad hoc basis.

If you wish to trade regularly from the same pitch, a 6 month temporary licence may be more appropriate for your trading pattern and you should have a look at our vacant market pitches.

Once registered, a casual trader can apply for a temporary licence for any of designated Westminster markets where a pitch is available.

Find out more about markets in Westminster before applying to register as a casual trader.

We can't accept applications for casual traders wishing to sell food or beverages.
