It's great to go, I just found as much as I want to support the farmers coming to this, the fruit and vegetable just did not last in any way. So unfortunately I won't be going again

Standard market setting, always a good range of stalls, BUT too many snappy dogs still....one dog is too many in public. Mud holes are still an issue, and grass was boggy after some rains... Do not how they will fix that. Generators are ok if quiet of course, but the power cables strewn over path, walk and access ways are totally irresponsible.
