IN BRIEF

The programme offers several different experiences, so visitors should choose a day and check access rather than expect every activity throughout the fair.

  • The fair runs from 25 to 28 September.
  • More than 80 exhibitors are expected.
  • The main concerts have free entry.
  • The procession is scheduled for Sunday at 18:00.
01

What is happening

The programme combines livestock and local-product traditions with food, crafts, books, health activities and evening music. This year's layout has changed, so an older map may not match the event on the ground.

Different parts of the programme run at different times. The religious procession, concerts and daytime fair should be treated as separate timetable decisions.

02

Make the visit comfortable

Check the day's programme, parking arrangements and weather before setting out. Families should note finishing times and plan where to meet if the site becomes busy.

Buy from identified exhibitors and ask about ingredients or allergens directly. Free admission to a concert does not necessarily make every food, ride or activity free.
