Tips & Advice
- Arrive early on Saturday or Sunday morning to experience the fair with fewer crowds and have the best selection from the artisan stalls.
- Bring cash for smaller vendors, as not all stalls may accept card payments, ensuring you don't miss out on unique handmade items.
- Check the weather forecast before you go; while the stalls are indoors, the children's rides and food vendors are outside, and their availability may depend on conditions.
- Plan your visit to include Santa's Grotto between 12pm and 5pm, but be prepared for potential queues, especially during peak times.
- Take advantage of the free entry to explore the fair at your leisure, and consider purchasing a small memento from one of the local makers to remember your visit.
