BBC Radio 2 in the Park is heading to Leicester in September and local traders can now apply to be part of the event.

D&J Catering will be organising the traders on site and they are on the lookout for local food traders. They require a variety of high-volume outlets, streetfood, barista coffee, and artisan units. They are also looking to incorporate a wide range of food options that accurately represent Leicester’s diverse multicultural community.

They are on the lookout for traders who have a 4* or above council rating and who source local produce where possible. Vegan, vegetarian, gluten free and halal options will all be represented in their final selection. Where suitable they will be prioritising local traders from in and around Leicester and Leicestershire.

In order to showcase and celebrate Leicestershire’s unique foods, they are also asking that local farmers’ produce stalls get in touch and apply to trade.

In addition to food traders, D&J Catering will also be securing non-food traders for the weekend. This could include clothing, jewellery and anything in-between that suits the event’s audience.

The application process will only be open for three weeks, closing date will be Friday 30 June at 10am. No applications will be accepted after this deadline.

BBC Radio 2 in the Park takes place in VIctoria Park, Leicester, on Saturday 16 and Sunday 17 September.
