Sorry, I won't be returning. I was disappointed last year, I thought it was very expensive for the size of the show as I has seen everything within an hour and found it was very geared to expensive planters/ready made raised beds and patio growing. I personally prefer GWL, it is bigger, cheaper, and I come back loaded with freebies and other stuff!

We're supposed to be going, we've booked a night at the hotel in the grounds but are having lots of problems getting our tickets. Ordered in feb. One email says they were coming march, another said they had been sent feb but must've been lost. May have to pick them up at the ticket office, wherever that is. If they don't come today, someone's getting a rocket  ;D

I think the trouble is they use a central booking company for these events and there not as good as they should be.  ::)  ::)
Here's keeping fingers crossed they arrive in time.
  In Swindon we are really lucky to have S.A.L.G.A (Swindon Allotment and Leisure Garden Association) which meets once a month and they put great trips together and this is one of them.  With the cost of petrol and the fact I still find driving long distances really painful after last years fall this is the best way for going to shows for me and its hassle free.

We did last minute decision to go and see the show and did get in Friday without pre ordering the tickets.
It was busy  day and this time the show was double the size it was last year. I think now as it gets more known and popular it will get bigger each year.
Didn't shop much.. :o..with all the swaps and plant shopping through out the year I didn't have any need for much.
Got few goody bags and loads of freebies.. ;D
I have to admit that I do like this show now..its not too big..yet..and you get round relatively quickly without needing to spend a day there.
Best thing the show was all the pigs, goats and chickens.. ;D ...awwww... ;D
