Read the details below, and hope to see you there!
This is a wonderful new location for us, and is a little larger and much nicer than our old location. In past years we have always sold out of dealer tables, and had a waiting list for cancellations.
Note: For our 2014 show we sold more tables than will put us at ''sold out'' in this new 2015 venue.
- Dealer contracts will be available in May 2015.
- We will pass them out at the Mansfield Bottle Show on Saturday May 9, 2015.

There are several SUNDAY ONLY dealers inside who do NOT set up on Saturday, PLUS the outside dealers​ only set up on S​unday morning, so there's plenty of fresh merch to choose from for Sunday's Early Bird buyers!

There are always plenty of outside spaces available​ (weather permitting​)​.​ Most years the day is nice enough, and we have several outside dealers. Even if it's cold, there are always a few hardy souls who set up out there. Keep your fingers and toes crossed for sunshine this year.
