Professional caterers can apply for a catering site. Permission may be granted provided it doesn’t clash with “local” groups (where this is their major fund raiser for the year) and it is different from what is already available. Catering is also restricted to ensure all applicants receive a reasonable return. 

Exhibitors will be responsible for their own sites throughout the Fair. Security is provided Wednesday, Thursday and Friday nights commencing 5 p.m. and continuing until 7.30 a.m. on Thursday and Friday mornings.
