World Equestrian Center Vendors Wilmington

Vendor Village is the jewel in the heart of World Equestrian Center – Wilmington. It features an indoor shopping experience with charming storefronts, landscaping and gathering areas that emulate a beautiful town square.

Designed in the epitome of upscale equestrian style, Vendor Village contains everything you need—and more—at a horse show in a quaint village square style setting. Gone are the ubiquitous white vendor tents. In their place are more than a dozen unique storefront facades hosting our Wilmington, Ohio, vendors, connected by paved walkways with sumptuous seating areas outside. Inside, there are exclusive shopping, dining and day spa experiences, all conveniently located in the epicenter of the horse show complex. This means that all of these incredible amenities are within a minute’s walk of the horse show action, or within a short walk to the stabling and onsite accommodations.

If you have a product or service that would interest World Equestrian Center exhibitors and spectators, please consider joining our Wilmington, Ohio, vendors family.

While we welcome vendors to be at World Equestrian Center on a week-to-week basis, many vendors prefer to stay for the entire 19-week winter circuit. There are approximately 20 to 25 vendor spaces at World Equestrian Center, including the Vendor Village, the R+L Walkway and the walkway connector.

The standard vendor space is 10×20. However, arrangements can also be made for custom spaces, such as vendors working out of their trailers or special flooring. We can accommodate trailers of all sizes.

SafetyPermanent ‘storefront’ space in Vendor Village is available in dimensions of 10×10, 10×20, or 10×40 with built-in slat walls for displays. Vendors who lease the spaces at Vendor Village are welcome to customize their stores to reflect their brands. World Equestrian Center provides custom store signage for Vendor Village shops. Vendors may lease fixtures.

Please visit our calendar of events to choose the right dates for your vendor experience at the World Equestrian Center.

We look forward to welcoming you as part of our vendor family at World Equestrian Center!

“Everybody loves it here at World Equestrian Center. The competition is great, the rings are great, and that makes people are happy and happy people shop, so that really helps the vendors.” 

Allan Gray
Owner/Mona’s Monograms 

Being a vendor at WEC for the past five years has given Equestrian Sundry a great opportunity to connect with equestrian enthusiasts from across the country and Canada.  From pony kids to Adult Ammys, to Grand Prix riders to pony Moms & Dads and everyone in between!  They all seem to really enjoy our equestrian inspired gift, home and apparel that we carry. We’re grateful that we can make meaningful relationships and expand our customer base within our storefront in the one-of-a-kind vendor village at WEC Wilmington.

Barbie Coleman
Equestrian Sundry

“Being a vendor at World Equestrian Center in Ohio has been a great way to get involved in the Midwest market. It’s been wonderful and really helped build my business in the territory.”

Becca MacWilliams
Saddle fitter/Antarès Sellier 

“We’ve been a vendor since 2016 and we love it at World Equestrian Center. Our boutique in Vendor Village is stunning. Vendor Village is so gorgeous and inviting, it’s really encouraged shopping. There is so much support from the venue and camaraderie between all of the vendors, it’s just a great place to be.” 

Dana Miller
Owner/Chagrin Saddlery 

“It’s a very inviting and welcoming atmosphere. You just make connections with the exhibitors and all of the other vendors. And the staff—all they want to do it help. Everything is always a team effort at WEC.” 

Sarah O’Brien

“We heard amazing things about WEC, about the facility, the management and the ownership. That’s what brought us here. And everything we were told is true! It really lived up to its reputation. It’s really nice to be out of tent and in a permanent structure. Being able to be in Vendor Village in such a beautiful environment, the décor and decoration is perfect and the flow of traffic and the people coming in to your store, it’s just a perfect fit for our products.”
