The Main Event food fair
The Main Event ran as a food fair: stalls taken by producers and food businesses from Cambridge and the surrounding county, with tasting and direct selling instead of table service.
For small producers this was the point of taking part. A fair of this kind puts a business that normally sells at the farm gate or through one shop in front of several thousand people in a day, which is a different proposition from a restaurant booking.
A record of how that central day worked as a trading floor for producers.
