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!

Why World Equestrian Center

The WEC (Wilmington) staff was a dream to work with!  The staff is friendly, responsive, and cares deeply about your satisfaction and the quality of the facilities.  Any issues were minor and the team worked quickly to remedy through great communication.  I will return again soon!

Susie McMichael
Savanna's Sweet Horse Treats

The opportunity to be a vendor at WEC has been very advantageous for both brand awareness as well as sales. The vendor village is second to none – well laid out, cozy, and inviting, with amenities beyond what is available at most other show venues.

Catherine Winter
Ride Equisafe

WEC is much classier and cleaner than most facilities I’ve been at and the faculty is tremendous to work with! The simplicity with setting up and tearing down in between shows in vendor village and not having to cover up or put away product is very convenient. The security that goes along with our product in vendor village is very important and with WEC’s security we never have to worry about product being taken or ruined. Being able to have a booth in the village that I am able to close a door, lock, and walk away from allows for peace of mind.

Holly Gregg
Haala Denim

As a vendor I particularly like the indoor village square setting and beautiful storefronts of Vendor Village. Not only is it the best environment to display products rain or shine, but it also keeps the merchandise protected from damage. I design and sell fashion apparel and show competition coats, so this is especially important to me. It is a pleasant shopping experience, and I always meet friendly and interesting customers.
