It ain’t the Show of your childhood where your options were a burger with grated carrot, a bucket of hot chips, a wand of fairy floss and a cinnamon doughnut.
The Show that opened at the weekend is boasting a vast selection, adding vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free and halal options to the classics with more than 80 food vendors overall.
