I alway use my bank card when travelling for getting cash. There is

If there is a vendor that you particularly want to buy from check if
they have a web site and whether they take credit cards. I know on my
first visit to the NEC I quickly ran out of cash but that was yearsa
ago and I think more vendors are taking plastic than before.
At the last lace day I went to Tim Parker was saying that that's likely
to change from next year when pin & chip applies to all cards because
the traders will need to invest in pin and chip readers, and many of
the smaller businesses (of the type that attend lace days, craft fairs
etc) will find it uneconomic to do so. He did say that he would
continue to accept plastic as though it were mail/telephone order - ie
he'll write down your card number then process it on the old machine
when he gets home, but he would prefer cash or cheque.
