Any idea as to what kind of audience, for which it is supposed to cater?

It is strange, that it is on the days Monday to Wednesday, which would
probably exclude alot of ordinary working people, etc, as it is not on
either on a Thursday (and therefore late night shopping), or, during a
weekend. Also, it appears that business people would need to drop their
business trading time, to attend.

Seems strange...
