MC Events have a no-refund policy and this is made clear when booking a stall.
The stall location for each stall is chosen by MC Events and thus stall holders are unable to choose their own location. We set up the event in a souk style, so all similar stalls are kept together.
The set up timings will be sent a few days before the event. The time will be specifically allocated to each stall holder. In general, stall holders will be asked to set up on the night before or 3-4 hours before the event starts
No. All payment must be made online once a stall has been approved
