Tips & Advice
- Bring a few pounds in cash for the charity tombola, which is cash only, although most stalls and food vendors also take cards.
- Arrive at least half an hour before closing, because doors close half an hour early and it takes at least that long to get round.
- Visit on Sunday morning if you don't like crowds, and bring noise-cancelling headphones if noise is a problem for you.
- Bring only what you can carry, because there's no cloakroom and anything left unattended is removed, although there are a few small coin-operated lockers.
- Carry small children in a body harness if you can, because the hall gets very busy and pushchairs can block the aisles.
Special Events & Promotions
- Friday evening opening with cocktails and live music.
- Saturday is the busiest shopping day, with street food and the café.
- New this year: 25% new stallholders and a handful of New Talent stallholders.

Frequently Asked Questions
What food and drink is there?
Two street food vendors serve hot meals, including vegetarian options. The indoor café has hot and cold drinks, snacks and cakes, including vegan cakes. Friday evening has cocktails.
Can I pay by card?
Most stallholders and food vendors take card or cash. The charity tombola is cash only, and there's a cash point on campus near the University reception building.
Is there a quieter time to visit?
Sunday morning tends to be quieter. The fair can be busy and noisy, and there's no quiet shopping hour, so neurodiverse visitors are advised to bring noise-cancelling headphones.
Can I bring a pushchair?
Yes, but the hall gets very busy, so a body harness for small children works better. There's nowhere to store prams, so keep them with you.
What's new this year?
A quarter of the 75 stallholders are new, plus a handful of New Talent makers who are building their creative businesses.
