I believe you can 

I’ve been today, plenty of dogs on leads with visitors. Food prices are piss take though so stop off for a big brekky en route.

I've been today and really enjoyed it, saw lots of machinery I wanted to see working (firewood). Didn't commit to anything but probably will.

Food was a pisstake but I knew that would be the case before I even left home so can't see how it can come as a surprise to anyone.

I don't really know what people were expecting to see there if they have come away disappointed. Any rep I spoke to was enthusiastic, helpful and friendly which is not always the case and a fair few complete strangers struck up conversation too which is unusal. As I say, we had a good day.

 

p.s. I bought some food and felt borderline ill the rest of the day and not because of the price. I can generally eat any old shite without being bad but today was as close as it could be without actually being ill.

To be fair mate I think as a captive audience we all expect grub to be priced high.....just not that high.

Anyone else stand in the beer queue for 15mins only to see a handwritten note 'cash only'? Just had a fairly mediocre fish and chips for £15!

Stands were brilliant, organisation and stewards/security went out their way to be rude/unhelpful tho

We baulked at the bacon roll that was a bap and 3 slices of bacon for £5 but the 12" sub, 2 hash browns, 5 slices of bacon, 2 sausages and a small dose of salmonella for £7 was not bad for an event.

I was surprised how many people had a pint in their hand at 10am.

Got to the queue at 1030. Was already about 100ft deep at least. I swore then realised that  the queue to buy on the gate was literally 3 people. We went through in 5 minutes. Failing to plan ahead has finally paid off!

Any photos? In particular, any of the wood carving.

This was my pick of the chainsaw carving, I didn’t stay to see it finished and I didn’t get his name but wow.
