Speaking yesterday Stewart Robinson, co-director of the fair, told the YEP: “The site we are building the fair on is very long this year. It looks breathtaking. A lot of people are saying it’s a completely different layout and a much better feel. It’s very impressive - and taken a lot of doing.”
He said this year’s fair also includes one of the largest travelling fun houses in Europe and more family-friendly rides, such as the Caterpillar roller coaster and the children’s Jets.
It also includes a Bavarian-themed pub on site as well as a variety of food. The fair is open from February 9-19.
