Changed catering arrangements for our visitors

Our venue notified us at the end of term in July it had changed its catering facility to another use and could no longer provide a similar service enjoyed in previous years.
We have therefore had to make alternative arrangements to provide refreshments, acquiring the use of a Salvation Army mobile canteen. We will be serving refreshments of Tea, Coffee, Soft Drinks, Crisps, and items of confectionery etc. We have the use of a ‘lounge’ area immediately facing you on entry to the exhibition at the pay desk. Here you can sit and rest whilst enjoying your refreshments.
We sincerely hope these arrangements will be to your satisfaction during your visit to the show. Once again we apologise for this change and inconvenience after so many years of having the ability to use the on site facilities.
