Applications are now open for the Christmas Village at Thorsplan in Hafnarfjörður 2018. As before, the Christmas Village is looking to partner with individuals, organisations and businesses who have quality products at a good price and a varied selection of goods, with a promise of life and Christmas cheer at their stall.
In the Christmas Village there will be around 20 decorated modular units, each measuring 5.8 m². There has been strong demand for the sales units at the Hafnarfjörður Christmas Village in recent years, and applications are therefore selected based on several specific criteria. This year, the Christmas Village opens on Friday, 30 November, and will then be open from 17:00 to 20:00. It will then be open throughout Advent on Saturdays and Sundays from 12:00 to 17:00, and until 22:00 on Christmas Eve. The rental fee for the sales hut is kr. 15,000 for the weekend. Included in the rental fee are all costs for setting up and operating the hut and cleaning the area. In addition, the City of Hafnarfjörður will promote the Christmas Village through various means, such as radio, screen and newspaper advertisements, and will attract visitors with an entertainment programme.
Sellers must comply with all applicable laws and regulations regarding the goods for sale. If a product or product category is in any way restricted or subject to the granting of a licence, the seller must make themselves aware of this and obtain the relevant licences. This applies, for example, to the sale of food, drink, alcoholic beverages and other products that may be subject to regulation. Sellers are also encouraged to check whether and what insurance may be appropriate, where applicable. The placement of Christmas houses is determined by the overall appearance of the village and what best suits that purpose.
Applicants must submit applications by 15 October 2018. www.hafnarfjordur.is/jolathorp or by 15 November, when the second allocation takes place. Enquiries can be sent to the email address: jolathorp@hafnarfjordur.is
