Hello Ms. Robinson, we have been there last year -- it was great !
If you need an accommodation (B&B or hotel), look early enough (now)
for it. We came through that part of Dorset a week before the fair
started. It was hard to find a reasonable room for us; we got one in
a better (expensive) hotel. Besides the fair there are giant areas
for campers (caravans, tents and cars).
We visited the fair for two days; that's a minimum, I think. You
should also spend an evening there because of the illumination. It's
much different from the daylight activities. Don't forget rubber boots
in case it rains. The activities are on normal farmland and fields.
A lot of information you can find in the Internet:
