Keele SU has 25 separate stall spaces, accessible for use by both students and local businesses. These stalls are limited to a 3m x 3m area (If you require more space, please speak to us regarding other options). All stall bookings are full day hire (9am-5pm). Please note that where power or equipment hire is requested you must include this in the booking form under the ‘Add Resources’ section. If you need to request additional equipment, please contact us prior to the booking and we will attempt to accommodate this. All equipment booking is done on a first come first serve basis and will be subject to availability
Reception Area
The reception area is the main entrance of the Student’s Union. Your stall will be directly opposite our main doors where hundreds of students come through each day, this is our only indoor stall area and is perfect for all weather conditions without the need for a gazebo.
Market Area
The Market area sits directly between the SU carpark and our front entranceway. The market area can hold up to 5 different stalls along the front of the SU building, which sees heavy footfall every day. This area sits under our canopy, which provides cover from lighter weather patterns without the need for a gazebo. Please note power is limited to the first 3 stalls in this area.
The Forest of Lights
Located just outside the SU, the Forest of Lights is the University’s central square, connecting multiple major thoroughfares across campus. Thousands of students cross this area daily, and many residents of nearby Keele village visit the area to take advantage of the shops and services located just off the square. The Forest of Lights offers 15 spaces for stalls and can accommodate power in areas 1-4 and 7-9. Please note these areas are open air and a gazebo is recommended when trading in this area.
