Following two consecutive years where poor weather significantly affected our event, we have taken the opportunity to review how stalls and stands are organised to improve the experience for exhibitors, visitors, and volunteers.

For this year’s event we will be introducing a revised layout and booking model.

Outdoor Stalls (Gazebos)
Outdoor pitch spaces will now be for Traders selling goods. This will allow us to better manage the outdoor marketplace area and ensure it remains safe and easier for visitors to browse.

Charity & Information Stands
All Charity and Information Stands will be located within our indoor marquee. This change will provide a more reliable, weather-protected environment, helping charities and organisations engage with visitors comfortably regardless of the conditions.

We believe this new approach will:

• Protect charities and information groups from poor weather

• Improve the layout and visitor flow across the event

We appreciate everyone’s understanding as we make these improvements and look forward to welcoming you to the event this year.
