The static displays shown for Thursday to Saturday will be available for view throughout the morning or afternoon (the lunch period is used for taking down and setting up rather than viewing).
On Sunday the displays by members of local societies will be set up for viewing during the 11.30 tea and coffee break and the rest of the morning. The break at 10.15 is a comfort break only (no drinks).
