I recommend you take a picnic as the food outlets are really expensive,we always find a corner sit down and have our lunch..

Hope to let my little un's loose on the canoes and water activities :)

Hoping there are some big winnibegoes there like in previous years..

Good idea to take the airport viewing lounge in afterwards (thanks for that !!)

We are going on Saturday too, and was wondering if it takes a long time to get parked, is there any queues into car park? What would be best time to get there?

Also, is there a best time to leave due to everyone trying to get out at same time?

Looking forward to it though!

Can you book the activities before you go rock climbing,canoeing etc or do you have to do it on the day ??

Really looking forward to it now

Thanks to all for your input on this thread

We went yesterday to the show and had a fantastic day out. Our whole family went - we had got there for the show opening and stayed til it was almost ended. Kids had a great time on the climbing wall, canoes/kayaks, Zorbing and a few other free activities (MAKE SURE YOU BOOK ASAP) They had balloons, face painting etc - it was a great day out.

We looked at the tents - got a free outwell windsock and a couple of lanyards - almost won £200 Vango voucher for being the quickest family to put up the AirTent thingy 40.19 seconds!!! but got pipped right at the end Lots of "dream" items but happily nothing made me want to replace what we had. In fact, I bought a little pull along cart for £10 and that was my only spend of the day.

This was our first show and I would thoroughly recommend it. We took our own lunch - lots of spots to sit down and eat (on the floor)and lots of people doing it. There is a campsite cooking demo - got a few ideas there and met two celebraties that I had no idea were celebraties lol.

Hope you all have as much fun as we did!!
