Notes for Exhibitors

Access To The Venue

The venue will be open from approximately 8:00  for the setting up of stands (from 15:30 - 17:00 for dismantling) and to receive any literature/materials/equipment sent via courier for use on the day of the Fair.

Offloading/loading of materials

There is vehicular access to a car park at the rear of the building, which is approached by a side road directly opposite the shops on the north side i.e. on the downhill side of Dunelm House. Please note: As there is only a small unloading bay, it will not be possible, by either courier companies or exhibitors, to leave any vehicle parked in the car park for the duration of the Fair.

Parking

When you have unloaded, metered parking bays can be located nearby - New Elvet, Hallgarth Street and Church Street - all within a short distance from the venue. The Prince Bishop multi storey car park is an approximate 5 minute walk from Dunelm House. Please use the link to view a map of the City of Durham.

We would appreciate it if hotel residents could please make use of hotel car parks wherever possible.
