Fair Ground
About

Fair Ground is a marketplace, a place where stalls and traders come together under one name. The A6 address places the venue on one of the island's key road links, so travellers moving between the coast and the interior pass close by.

Sri Lanka's tropical climate divides the year: the southwest coast is driest roughly December-March, while the east coast is best roughly May-September. Food here is spice-driven, built around rice and curry, fresh seafood and tropical fruit. Aeroplanes link the island with the wider world, while buses and trains carry people between its towns. Sinhala and Tamil are the main languages, with English widely used.
