I have solved about half of the numbered clues but don't understand how the unumbered clues can read across left to right. Is the "seasonal show" to do with pantomimes or sales? Help

Have completed about half of the straight clues but the letters I have appearing in the unclued entries seem to be an odd jumble. Am I missing something here?
