Live on Buntico
A one-day celebration of local growers, artisan food producers and independent garden trade — set in the walled kitchen gardens of Millbrook Hall.
A gentle weekend fair with handmade craft, heritage plants, tea tents and a working bee stall — set on the village green at Ashwell.
Sound familiar?
A spreadsheet of stall holders. An inbox full of insurance certificates — some current, some expired, some missing entirely. Payment chasing by text. A hot food pitch double-booked because two emails crossed.
And three days before gates open, you're phoning a trader whose public liability cover ran out last month. None of that is organising events. It's administration — and it's exactly what Buntico was built to remove.
How it works
A clean editor, your photos, your dates, your venue. Define your stall types — hot food, crafts, garden trade — each with its own price, pitch quota, and the documents it requires. Published in minutes.
Stall holders register, upload their insurance and certificates, and book a pitch — but only when their documents check out. You review each certificate once; the platform enforces it from then on.
Payments collected and settled to your account. Expiry reminders sent at 30, 14 and 7 days by email and text. Sold-out stall types run their own waitlists. Cancellations refund themselves.
Features
Insurance, food hygiene, gas safety, alcohol licences — uploaded once by the vendor, reviewed by you, tracked forever. Bookings are blocked the moment cover doesn't reach your event date.
Eight hot food pitches means eight. Quotas are enforced at payment, not on a spreadsheet — the double-booked pitch is a thing of your past.
Card payments at booking, settled directly to your account through Stripe. Refunds in a click. Receipts sent automatically.
Expiring insurance triggers automatic email and SMS reminders to the vendor — and a heads-up to you. The uninsured-trader-at-the-gate phone call retires.
Cancel an event and every affected vendor and ticket holder is notified and refunded in one confirmed action. Change a date and every booking's documents are re-checked instantly.
When a pitch frees up, the next vendor in line gets 24 hours' first refusal — offered, chased and filled without you touching it.
Public ticket sales with QR e-tickets and a phone-camera check-in scanner for the gate. Same dashboard, same payout, no extra ticketing platform taking its cut.
Every document you approved, every date you verified, every refund you issued — recorded. If a question ever comes after an event, the answer is one search away.
For your vendors too
Vendors upload their documents once and use them for every organiser on Buntico — no more emailing the same insurance certificate to fifteen different inboxes a season. One profile, one document vault, every event they trade at. Easier for them means faster, fuller bookings for you.
Built like it matters
Vendor admin used to take me two days per event. It now takes minutes, and nobody trades uninsured on my sites.

Straight to you. Payments are processed by Stripe into your own account. We never hold your event income.
They're reminded automatically at 30, 14 and 7 days before expiry — and if a document lapses while they hold a booking at your event, you're both alerted immediately.
Yes. Add manual bookings for vendors who pay by other means; they sit alongside online bookings with the same document checks.

No. Export your data any time. It's yours.
Set up free in minutes. Your vendors will wonder why every organiser doesn't do it this way.
