    I wouldn't lose too much sleep over it.

    We had free tickets a couple of years back, and it was one of the biggest wastes of time ever. Most of it was taken up with tacky trade stands selling the sort of thing you'd find in a second-rate street market, and beyond that there was very little of interest.

    Basically it's a large market for sellers of tat, and somehow they manage to persuade a certain number of gullible members of the public (different ones each year) to actually hand over money to get in!

    At least if it's free, you're only wasting your time, but for goodness sake don't waste any money travelling to get there. ;)

    Bought there? You have to be joking! Overpriced, pointless, badly made tat, most of it. ;)

    I went last year and got a handful of interesting presents for Christmas, I'm not sure I'd pay to get in but I certainly enjoyed myself.

    Hi, Martin’s asked me to post this in these circumstances: For legal reasons I have to discourage swapping, buying and selling on the forum (please see this rule). While it can be a very useful way of saving money it relies on a certain amount of trust between members and as such can cause problems (and has in the past). If you have any questions about this policy please email [EMAIL="forumteam@moneysavingexpert.com"]forumteam@moneysavingexpert.com[/EMAIL].

    some posts requesting swaps have been removed.
