I'm contemplating a trip down south for this too. Is it worth a 3-4 hour drive?

Well it's worth me giving up virtually all stash buying inbetween shows to save for it so for me personally I would say a definate YES! We (eldest dd and me) get there for doors open and are still walking around (all be it on dead legs and laden down arms) at 3.30/4pm. OH takes our toddler off round London for the day so he gets a day out of it too and then we stop off for a pub dinner on the way home.

It's just so lovely getting to see stuff for real and not just on the screen if that makes sense?

Glad you've had good news Saveapenny and that you're feeling better hels.

I've been to a couple of shows at Ally Pally - is there a local company doing a coach trip dawntb? It might be a bit quicker and easier than driving it yourself plus they drop you off right outside and you can rest your feet on the way home .

Am still waiting for OH to get back from his weekend away and DD has decided to stay a few days extra at her dad's so have been busy didn't get the ironing done though
