Tips & Advice
- Book online with adult tickets if bringing children under twelve, as their free entry requires an online booking with adult tickets.
- Allow extra time for the journey because the market can cause traffic build-up and delays.
- Check the weather forecast and wear suitable clothing and footwear because the event is outdoors, with very limited cover and changing ground conditions.
- Consider visiting on Friday if you prefer a quieter day; it is traditionally the quietest, though all three days are lively.
- Keep dogs on leads and leave them outside the Hall unless they are assistance dogs; walkways can get periodically crowded.
