I've heard there is a big exhibition of tents nr the big roundabout by Cheshire Oaks - does anyone know anything about this and when it starts?

It's more like the Klondyke than a tent exhibition...It's pure farmer's field and if you've got a wheelchair / pushchair....forget it.

I've been to the Yeomans' Calver exihibition a few times; usually when fortuitously passing en-route to visiting friends in Nottinghamshire. Very large number of tents on display but only a fair range of stuff in the accessories marquee. (Having said that, they would get hold of stuff if you asked but, as we've got a Yeomans where we live, why bother?)

We went to a Yeoman's exhibition last year when we were looking for a new tent. We asked them what was the best deal they could do on a Monty 6 as we had seen great offers on the internet but they claimed they couldn't do anything for us so we walked away! Great if you want to look at tents thou!

Just to echo what one or two others have said - if it is there this May, go early rather than late... we got some stuff from there a couple of years back, and while it was OK to start with after a few days of rain it gradually turned into something akin to a swamp - and that was inside the big marquee....

There is a Great Outdoors on the A540 between Heswall and Two Mills.

They are the ones who run the shop at Cheshire Oaks. There is a good selection of tents up now, and the shop is OK too.
