This fair is so big in terms of attendance, that they set up makeshift traffic lights to cope with the amount of extra people driving thru the town! It's amazing!
We arrived towards the end of the lunch rush so we were very lucky to find a car spot quickly and close by.
There were a number of food trucks and my fellow coeliacs will be pleased to know there are gluten free options. The most popular truck was like a fish and chip shop and they had a separate fryer! 😲 The person taking orders seemed educated on the severity of contamination and specifically asked if I was coeliac. 👏👏 A tent with tables, chairs, bar and live music topped off the great eating experience.

They also need more chairs for people to sit as there was barely any.
Very good...
