In the minute-long video, a group of men can be seen throwing punches at each other while security staff attempt to break them up.
Then a glass of beer is smashed over someone's head and the fight escalates as the men crash into the long tables.
Screams and shouts can be heard over the background rock music which sounds like a live band is playing at the other side of the large blue tent.
One man in a brown jacket even picks up one of the long benches and throws it towards security staff before throwing a punch a member of security in an orange hi-vis and eventually being detained.
