Member Services
NABMA historically has been a local authority based organisation. In recent years however our membership has expanded and we warmly welcome membership applications from private and commercial operators and local and community groups together with organisations seeking to establish markets.
The scale of membership subscriptions set out below reflect local authority rates but private, commercial, local and community organisations should refer to the information below the subscription bandings as a guide to determine the appropriate rate for them.
Private market operators will pay the appropriate fee, based on the above subscription bandings, depending on the size of the company’s operation. If the operation involves more than 200 stalls then it will come into the Unitary/Metropolitan banding; if more than 100 stalls it will come into the District Council banding and anything under that will comprise the Town and Parish Councils banding.
Other organisations running markets, such as social enterprise groups, traders co-operatives, or interested parties will be entitled to apply for membership at the Town and Parish Council subscription rate.
From time to time special rates may be offered so please contact us if you are interested in joining.
