Shop front traders

Shop front trading allows shop owners to trade goods and services outside their shop, including everything from fruit and vegetables outside convenience stores, to tables and chairs outside local cafes, bars and restaurants.

You will need a licence for shop front trading and permanent licences can only be issued if the street has been designated for street trading. You will also need to meet our Shop Front Trading Tables and Chairs Regulations (PDF, 194KB).
