What size of a stand were you after Belle?? We have a 2X2 which ideally we would like a 3X2 but we thought it was just too expensive

Check nearer the time someone may not be coming and you could perhaps get moved only thing is it will be too late to amend programme

Dont forget electricity is extra @ Balmoral we only take it year cause we need it to run our machines. We did not have lights in our stand cause that was more money............ but didn't need it as plenty of light from above. Maybe differnet story though if you are downstairs. Also last year downstairs was packed and people were just pushing there way through, upstairs worked well for us so we going back stand HL17 on corner right at top of stairs.... Here's hoping for a successful show otherwise I could be in divorce courts lol!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Choco I'm glad to hear you saying that too coz that was exactly what we thought. Downstairs was a nightmare so we are back to the balcony this year too..stand 28.

it was the smallest option available it said online was 95.00 and when i emailed him he started doing this calculation and it ended up close to 600 gutted

I think its £97.50 per m2 + VAT @17.50 for upstairs. When booking with those who charge by metre you always should ask is it per metre frontage or m2 as yes it makes some differnece. Book Lady you may not be too far from me I'm up at top of back stairs on corner stand in a 3x2 as 2x2 is too small. If you remember last year there was like a complete food market at one end, thats not going to be there this year as that space has been given over to a fashion show.
