"Whether you’re wanting to try something new or just want your favourite food to accompany an ice cold drink while listening to some great live music, Street Eat has got you covered.
"We do all we can to make it as affordable as possible too, entry is free and there’s no charge for the children’s entertainment either, including the rides and shows.
"Last summer was very busy so we’ll be making some subtle changes to help us accommodate a few more people as well as adding extra seating.”
