in Freebies (no spend required)
This show is on 13-14 July and you can pre-register for free tickets (£10 on the day). Could be of interest if you are coming up to retirement and need advice and is a free day out with quite a few interesting demos - dancing, tai Chi and fashion show.

    Thats what ALL shows/exhibitions are about! You don't have to buy anything and can just enjoy the day and the freebies! Or if you are about to retire you may want to purchase or use some services over time and improve the quality of your retirement. :beer:

    was just going to send off for two tickets for my Mum and her friend, but when I saw there was a demo on coffins and funerals, decided against it!

    Yes, but there are also ceroc and tango demos and lessons which they might enjoy. Also as you get older I dont think you have such an aversion to things like coffins and I thought it was interesting that there are green ones, etc. Not that I intend to go anywhere near that stand!

    I think you will find that entry is £5 (The reitement show I mean not the Fab 50s)- unless you go in after 3pm. Last year entry was completely free- but seemingly no longer. If you click on the 'London' show link it says that it is half price. My friends went last year and they said it was a good day out for FREE, but probably not for a fiver spend!!
    Being polite and pleasant doesn't cost anything!
