"We will be booking immediately for next year.”
Nick Radclyffe, from Foxdenton Spirits and Liqueurs, added: “Without question, this has been our best show in the last five years.
"Sales have far exceeded any other show and the organisers were rightly selective about who they let in, which meant there was a broad variety of traders.”
