Estimated visitor spend of £2.1m

So say government chiefs, after figures revealed just under 5,000 people attended the event last summer.
Department for Enterprise officials say, on average, visitors spent £434 each while here.
Chief marshal Peter Chadwick says one particular aspect of the Southern brings an added appeal.
