TRADERS said the festival was getting a reputation as one of the best.

James-Dean Curtis, aged 33, of The Garlic Farm in the Isle of Wight, said: “It is our first time here and it is going well. It has been worthwhile coming all these miles and I think we would come back.”

Angela Sweeney, of Bank Top Brewery, said: “The festival has grown and stalls are down the side streets. I am looking forward to next year.”
