As important as any of the traders at this sort of event, are the refreshments - I can now confirm that from opening at 10AM Bacon Butties , mugs of tea/coffee will all be available and then closer to lunchtime a mix of sandwiches and burgers will then be on the menu.
Soft Drinks and even some sweet treats to keep those energy levels up will also be on sale .

My next update will confirm the Free Parking , as for travel by train, then the venue is just around the corner from the station less than 5 minutes walk, you can even see the ground and floodlights from many of the station platforms .
