Farm-Fest Traders Flee: "Worst Trading Day Ever"

The recent Great British Farm-Fest, held at Stoneleigh Park, has concluded with a notable number of traders departing before the event's scheduled end. Some stallholders reported experiencing their worst trading days ever, with one citing significant losses in wages, fuel, and van hire that exceeded their earnings.

Organizers expressed surprise at the early departures, noting that only a handful of the 400 exhibitors left. They highlighted that the event successfully attracted over 50,000 visitors throughout the weekend. While some traders struggled, others reported positive experiences and successful sales later in the event, with one jacket potato seller stating they "absolutely smashed it out the park."
