We went last year last week of june, it was like a building site. It was due to fully reopen 2 weeks later Jenny Bond was the celeb invited to the grand opening. The work they were doing looked good so the fire had a silver lining.
We first went in 1990 before the fancy buildings when it was a collection of wooden sheds and stuff was piled high and sold cheap. Was worth going for the bargains and the kids loved the fun fair part, I still think its a good day out especially if you have children but the bargains are few, they have to pay for the fancy buildings some how.
