FAQs

Generally yes, all events usually have a participation cost, depending on whether you want to be an exhibitor, sponsor, or collaborator.

It depends on the event itself, its features, available spaces, opening days, attendance, complementary activities, promotion, signage, etc. Get in touch, and we will provide you with information!

Generally no, but it depends on the organizers/event managers.

Yes, spots have a specific size, and it’s important to respect the limits of the space and the people nearby. If more space is needed, it’s possible to rent multiple spots in a row to create a larger area without any issues. Similarly, if you want to be close to a friend or have them next to you with a different brand, you can rent multiple spots together.

It depends on the event, pop-up, or activity organizer, but generally, spots are always rented empty. Each person or brand has to bring their own furniture, decorations, and the products they are going to sell.

No, once the stand is set up, all furniture and products are left in place until the end of the event, pop-up, or action. The events and pop-ups take place in a venue, Espai X, a space that has alarm and 24-hour video surveillance when the event is closed.

We do not have lockers or storage spaces. If you are an organizer/exhibitor in one of our pop-ups, it is your responsibility to manage the stock of your product in the space you have rented.

Usually, spots are assigned on a first-come, first-served basis. The earlier you make a reservation, the more options you have for choosing a spot.

Although this depends on the organization of each event or pop-up, participation is for the entire event, not for individual days.

Whether you are an exhibitor or organizer, there must always be a responsible person present at the booth or event during opening hours.

No, in our online agenda, you can check the events we have scheduled for the coming months. Thirty percent of the events, pop-ups, or activities on the calendar are produced in-house by the creative team at Mercado de Tapineria, while the remaining 70% are organized by external organizers and collaborators.

When approached to be an exhibitor at an event, the Tapineria team always assesses the project and recommends and provides information on all events that are compatible with the project based on brand aesthetics, budget, preferred dates, available spots, and alignment with the event’s philosophy.

In many cases, the same brand or project can participate in multiple events, both in-house and external.

First, we should get to know what you do, so if you have social media, a website, or photos where we can see your product, we would appreciate it if you could share them with us via email. After checking that your product is compatible with the event or events, we would send you information about schedules, rates, available spots, etc. Next, you should read all the basic information about the event, and if you’re interested in formally reserving a spot, upon your confirmation, we will send you the contract for you to fill out/sign and return along with the payment receipt. After this, your participation as an exhibitor would be confirmed.

Almost for any type! We cannot rent Espai X for after-parties, personal discos, rowdy celebrations, adult-themed activities, or for a ‘Big Brother’ style living arrangement.

It depends on what is planning to organize and the number of days. Get in touch with us, and we’ll provide you with details

Once you request the spot, confirm your interest in making the reservation, and receive confirmation of your participation, attendance will be formalized through the signing of the participation contract and the payment receipt.

All the information for making the transfer or payment deposit can be found within the contract to formalize the reservation.
