Features will include covered pens and specialist equipment for viewing/auctioning livestock along with improved access for visitors.

Alastair Hamilton, Partner at Pick Everard, said: "This is an exciting regeneration scheme for us to be involved in and demonstrates Pick Everard's ability to work across a wide range of sectors.
