CraftCover is pleased to provide comprehensive bespoke insurance for a range of craft businesses and individuals. Our craft stallholders plans are suitable and ideal for any and all types of craft business.
We know that being a craft stallholder can come with a number of risks and worries, which is why we’ve created the ideal insurance policy to protect you and your craft business against harmful claims.
What insurance do you need for a market craft stall?
If you’re selling crafts at a market stall, you’ll likely need:
Public Liability Insurance – Covers against claims from personal injuries to members of the public, loss or damage to third party property, and death or disablement to the public as a result of your business activities.
Product Liability Insurance – Covers the goods/crafts you make and sell. If faulty or dangerous crafts slip through your quality assurance process, and cause damage to property or injury to an individual, product liability insurance will cover you against the following claims. Even if you think this is unlikely to happen, it is possible, and it’s vital to be protected.

Why market stall holders need insurance
Market stall holders need insurance to protect their business and craft. Whilst claims seem unlikely, even one accident can lead to extremely high expected payouts.
As a crafter, the last thing you need is to be bankrupted by a singular claim, which you obviously never expected. As a result, it’s a very good idea for your own safety, and the safety of your business, to take out a bespoke market stall holders insurance plan.
One day insurance for market craft stalls
If you don’t regularly attend markets and set up a craft stall, you won’t want to take out a year-long policy, as this would simply be a waste of money for most of the year!
Instead, CraftCover offers short-term craft fair insurance, which can cover you for a single day, or the few days that you need cover. We often find that crafters who only attend craft fairs or set up market stalls very occasionally end up just taking the risk of going without comprehensive insurance policies, because they don’t want to waste the money. That’s exactly why CraftCover offers a one day insurance plan for market craft stalls.
What you need to legally run a market stall
To legally run a market stall, you’ll need to obtain a street trading licence. This can be applied for with your local council, and you can apply for a temporary or permanent licence. You’ll also need to be registered as a business in most cases, and start contributing to national insurance.
If you’re running a food craft business, you’ll need to register as a food business, following hygiene rules and possibly attaining a hygiene certificate.
Whilst public liability insurance is not always a legal requirement, you’ll benefit in many ways from taking out a public liability stallholders policy. It’ll give you peace of mind that your business activities are thoroughly protected, so you can craft and sell with ease!
