The fair gets underway with a civic opening at noon on Saturday and runs until the following Sunday, with rides galore along with many other attractions.

But its presence in the town centre will mean some road closures and alterations to parking will be in place.

The accessible parking normally available in the Market Place will not be available from Thursday at 4pm through to Sunday, May 12 at noon due to road closures in place for the fair. However Custom House Quay is offering free accessible parking throughout this time.
