We will be there, as usual. As a participant, the thing I like about it is being able to drive my car right up to the table and unload there. No humping barrowloads of kit up hill and down dale like at most venues. And free parking for the car thereafter.

Free parking ?  Last year was the only year We have had free parking even as a trader. Previous years its been £15 a day, thats on top of several hundred ponds for the stand

Never a problem for me.  It's always the weekend nearest SWMBO birthday, so I don't go.

Take her there as a "Birthday outing"  ;D.

We've always paid for parking as well, last year was the first freebie I think?  Dave always parks the van so I never really know what he does with it!

With his Darker Lord powers, he probably just slips it into an alternate dimension.

Had to stop using the moon since the Sunday Sport spotted that bus he left there a few years ago.

Will be heading down this year for the first time. So it had better be good!   ;)
What's the venue parking like?

The venue has its own underground parking but be warned, it isn't cheap!

I went last year for the first time and had a great if not long and tiring day.
Managed to get cheap train tickets from Darlington (£14.50 each way) so the cost wasn't too bad it was carrying all the new toys back to Kings Cross that made my arms ache ;D ;D

Last Hussat we searched on East Coast Trains about 3 months before the show and managed to get them at their sale prices. Me and my wife done the same in November and got to London for £22 each return. Unfortunately it looks like I will miss Salute this year as the cheapest tickets I could find have been £55 return  :( :( :( :(
