- introductions to town centre businesses who may be interested in stocking your produce,
- the opportunity to partner with a local food business to have your produce featured as part of a special menu during the event OR to host a stall showcasing your produce (NOTE: The majority of stalls will be based within a local business or organisation in the Town Centre. There will be a small number of select stalls located around Thame Town Hall but these will be chosen by the organising committee and are likely to focus on street-food stalls )
- a feature on the event’s trail map to raise the profile of your brand and allow people to find you
- a feature on this website, signposting people to your own online shop/presence
