It is estimated up to 10,000 vehicles will travel to the event, which is just off the A605 and A1/A1M junction each day.

Mike Perie, Highways England Events Planning Manager for the East of England, said: “This is a very popular event, and I’d advise all drivers using the roads nearby to be able to plan their journeys to avoid being stuck in traffic.”

The event opens at 6am on Wednesday and finishes at 6pm on Thursday.
