    the London metro had vouchers for yesterday and today but after 5pm only. If you can source two youre set!
  • I cant make on a weekday unfortunately and will have to go on the weekend

  • Went there yesterday, courtesy of MSE (thanks v.much). However it was very disappointing, as not nearly as big as the spring events. It was very quiet with far fewer exhibitors than we expected.
    Although we bought a couple of bargains, it wasn't worth the 4 hour round trip on the motorway through torrential downpours.
    Can anybody get me tickets for the spring event???

    Hi I went to the show yesterday and was hoping it would be better than last year but it was just as bad if in fact not worse!!!
    Though I was lucky I got an evening standard for 50p to get free entry after 5pm. I'm a member of the loyality club and printed off a form to get a free show guide worth £3.50 and had a goody with loads of random stuff.. thai pringles, thai chicken tonight, cat food, super glue, dorest breakfast ceral, panten shampoo sachet, instant coffee and I think some more.

    Last year I did complain and this spring 2 tickets to the Spring show arrive with no letter so I'm guessing it was from them??

    But don't pay to go it's not worth it it took us less than an hour to go around.

  • Totally agree with the above posts... My mum and I went to the spring show a few years ago and my bf took me on Wednesday last week - unbelievable difference!

    Can't believe they have the cheek to actually charge people to go to this event... Basically the show running now is like a walk round a shopping centre... It was just company's trying to sell and promote thier overpriced goods... Allied carpets were the only ones who had a 'show home' set up... picked up no ideas and didn't buy a thing...

    We had an 8 hour round trip from Manchester, the most we could spend in there was 2 hours and that was seeing nearly everything twice...

    I think it ends Sunday, I wouldn't waste the time or money
