Hide AdCraig Patterson, director of co-orgnisers Portsmouth Scene, said: ‘It’s been our plan to try and make it bigger and better every year. We’ve got more vehicles, an extra music stage this year, and the market area, so we’re using inside the Guildhall for the first time too. It should all be a good day.
‘We have had to introduce an entry fee this year, but that’s just to cover costs – it is a not-for-profit event.’
The main event runs from 10am–4pm but with the barbecue, bars and live music running through until 9pm.
Entrance is just £4 on the day, under-12s are £2 and under-fives are free.
